India's Renewable Energy Capacity Surges in 2025

India's Renewable Energy Capacity Surges in 2025

India has added a lot of new solar and wind power in the first eight months of this year.

They added 27 GW of solar power and 3.9 GW of wind power.

This is more than they added in the whole last year.

In total, India now has 262.73 GW of power from non-fossil fuels, which is more than half of their total power capacity.

The states of Rajasthan and Gujarat have the most renewable energy capacity.

This is good for the environment because it means less pollution from fossil fuels.

However, the textile sector, which is using more renewable energy, is also using more energy overall.

This is because they are making more products and using more energy-intensive processes.

Some companies are reporting their emissions, but many are not, which is a concern for sustainability.
