New Delhi, Oct 29
India's power sector has achieved two historic milestones that show the nation's steady progress toward a clean, secure, and self-reliant energy future.
During FY 2025–26 (April-September 2025), India added 28 GW of non-fossil capacity and 5.1 GW of fossil-fuel capacity — showing how fast the clean energy share is rising, the statement pointed out.
This means that, for the first time, more than half of India’s power came from green sources in a single day, which is a remarkable sign of change, the statement said.
India’s renewable energy push is creating new employment opportunities in manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and innovation—benefiting both rural and urban youth, according to the statement.
