The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has published the midterm review of the 20th Electric Power Survey.

  • India's installed power capacity is projected to rise from about 520 GW in 2026 to 1,121 GW by 2035–36.
  • Solar is expected to become the largest source at roughly 509 GW, driving the clean energy transition.
  • Coal will still contribute around 315 GW as stable baseload supply.
  • Non-fossil sources are expected to make up nearly 70% of total capacity by 2035–36.
