India’s electricity is primarily generated from coal, followed by solar, wind and hydro sources. The power mix reflects the country’s shift toward renewables.

Here is the break-up of energy sources based on their installed capacity.

Coal

Installed Capacity: 46.42% [{ "selector": ".rmgxw-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-325px)", "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible" }, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"} ] }, { "selector": ".irpic-a", "duration": "250ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0, "visibility" :"visible"}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"} ] }]
