Non-Fossil Fuel Share In Total Installed Power Capacity

• Non-fossil fuel share = % of India's installed electricity capacity from sources other than coal, lignite, gas, and diesel — i.e., large hydro, nuclear, solar, wind, small hydro, biomass, waste-to-energy.
• Tracks India's headline Paris Agreement / NDC commitment: 50% cumulative installed power capacity from non-fossil sources by 2030, plus the PM's COP-26 promise of 500 GW non-fossil capacity by 2030 and Net Zero by 2070.
• As on 31 Dec 2025: total installed capacity 5,13,730 MW, of which 2,66,788 MW (51.93%) is non-fossil and 2,46,942 MW (48.07%) is fossil.
• Why it matters: recurring Prelims fact (%, MW, year of NDC) + GS-III mains anchor for energy transition, climate diplomacy, and renewables policy.
