India crossed 300 gigawatts of installed non-fossil electricity-generation capacity as of July 31, according to the country's Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
The total was 300.50 gigawatts. Solar accounted for 164.59 gigawatts, followed by wind at 58.14, hydropower at 57.24, bio-power at 11.75, and nuclear power at 8.78.
Together, these sources made up more than 54 percent of India's total installed generation capacity, which the ministry put at about 552 gigawatts. Installed capacity describes the ability to generate electricity, not the amount produced at every moment.
The milestone takes India past 60 percent of its 500-gigawatt non-fossil capacity target for 2030.
