By 2023, non-fossil capacity exceeded by approximately 43%, and it reached roughly 50% by mid-2025. India’s territorial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were approximately 2,959 MtCO₂e in 2020, and absolute emissions have remained high thereafter. Generation gapIndia’s renewable capacity scale-up is dramatic, but it does not yet replace fossil baseload. Non-fossil capacity rose from ~29.5% in 2015 to ≈51.4% by June 2025. The road aheadWhile India has achieved meaningful progress on specific metrics, they also obscure fundamental problems with climate action in India.
