New Delhi: Union Minister of State for New & Renewable Energy and Power Shripad Naik on Wednesday said India's installed non-fossil fuel based power generation capacity has almost touched 260 GW.
Addressing the third International Conference on Green Hydrogen 2025, the minister said this strong renewable foundation has empowered India to take the next decisive step -- the Green Hydrogen Revolution -- "converting our renewable strength into clean molecules that can decarbonise industries, fuel transport, and support global trade".
He said, "Today, our installed non-fossil fuel based power generation capacity has almost touched 260 GW, with solar and wind leading this revolution, supported by hybrid, storage, and grid modernisation initiatives."
He noted that the National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched in January 2023, marked a turning point in India's clean energy story.
