Indian government has stated that the country’s total primary energy supply (TPES) reached 9,32,816 Kilo Tonnes of Oil Equivalent (KToE) in FY2024-25, marking a 2.95 per cent increase over the previous year. This reflects steady growth in energy demand and the continued expansion of India’s energy sector.
Renewable energy potential soars
India’s renewable energy capacity now stands at 47,04,043 megawatts (MW). Among this, solar energy dominates, with capacity jumping from 7,48,990 MW in FY2023-24 to 33,43,378 MW in FY2024-25, contributing nearly 71 per cent of total renewable potential. Wind power adds 11,63,856 MW, while large hydro contributes 1,33,410 MW, according to the latest “Energy Statistics India 2026” report by the National Statistics Office (NSO).
