India's Renewable ( RE ) Energy Generation

India’s Renewable Energy Generation Report : 2021

• The India has achieved renewable energy capacity of 92.54 GW ( excluding large hydro power ) at the end of January, 2021. 
• The installed RE capacity of India has increased by two and half times from April 2014 to January 2021 in the span of seven year period. 
• The solar capacity has increased 15 times during the same duration . 
• The India stands at 4^th in RE power capacity, 4^th in wind power and 5^th in solar power capacity.
