Introduction
Renewable energy is one of the major drivers for achieving sustainable life on earth, with
promising potential in developing nations like India.
India ranks third in terms of its energy consumption, right behind China and the United States of
America. It also ranks third in oil consumption with over 22 tonnes consumed annually.
With the ongoing depletion of oil and natural gas reserves and the cheaper cost of deploying
renewable technology, now is a fantastic time to explore what this trend translates to in the
renewable energy market in India this year. Renewable energy adoption in India considerably
slowed down in 2020 but recovered by the end of 2021.
The government played a pivotal role in catalyzing the commissioning of auctioned utility-scale
renewable energy projects. It also accelerated the distributed solar PV market with
improvements in its renewable energy policies. Such government led implementations and alike
have helped India to double its renewable energy capacity since 2020.

An Overview: India’s Renewable Energy Capacity
Many states in India have improved their renewable energy policies to invite more investment
into the sector. North India for example, has a potential capacity of 363 GW, with various
schemes being introduced to encourage early adoption of sustainable technology at a smaller
scale. The installed capacity of solar alone has increased by 18x, having gone up from 2.63 GW in
2014 to 49.3 GW in 2022.
As of May 2022, power production from renewable energy sources, with the exception of
hydropower, stood at 19.31 billion units.
As of April 2022, India’s installed capacity peaked at 158.12 GW. This translates to about 39.43%
of the total power capacity in India. There has been an additional 8.2 GW capacity addition in
just the first quarter of 2022 when compared to the first half of 2021.
