India added a record 13,669 MW of power generation capacity in the January-March period of this year, with renewable energy contributing 71.5%. Coal’s share of total power capacity fell below 50% for the first time since the 1960s. The decline in coal’s share mirrors a global trend with G7 countries vowing to phase out unabated coal power generation by 2035. India has made significant strides towards net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. Solar power generation has grown rapidly in India, placing it third in the world rankings. The share of global electricity from renewables has expanded, leading to a decline in carbon dioxide intensity of global power generation in 2023.
