Context & shortfalls

Includes solar, wind, small hydro, and bioenergy. Large hydro (>25 MW) tracked separately. In 2004, capacity was almost entirely wind and small hydro (~3 GW + 2.5 GW). Solar accelerated sharply after JNNSM (2010) and now dominates additions. India's 2030 NDC target is 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity. Grid balancing and storage investment will be critical as intermittent share rises above 30%.
