Highlights<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>During FY 2024-25,<\/strong> the Indian economy has depicted a healthy expansion in the <strong>Total Primary Energy Supply (TPES)<\/strong> registering a growth of <strong>2.95%<\/strong> over the past year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>India has a huge potential for generation of renewable energy which stands at <strong>47,04,043 Megawatt as on 31-Mar-25.\u00a0<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Solar energy <\/strong>dominates this segment, accounting for <strong>nearly 71% <\/strong>of the total potential, followed by wind power and large hydro projects.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Over 70% of this potential is concentrated in six states<\/strong> \u2013 Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The gross generation of electricity <\/strong>from the Renewable resources (both Utility and Non-Utility together) has also increased significantly with a <strong>CAGR of 9.17% over the years.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The per-capita consumption of energy<\/strong> has grown with a CAGR of 1.89% during FY 2015-16 to FY 2024-25.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Source of Energy: <\/strong>Coal has remained the dominant source, contributing the highest share to the total energy supply.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Credit Flow to the energy sector<\/strong> in India has also experienced a steadfast growth over the years.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>From an amount of \u20b9 1,688 Cr during 2021, it has gone up to \u20b910,325 crore during 2025 which is a growth of over six times during this period.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key Takeaways<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Energy demand in India is steadily rising,<\/strong> reflecting sustained economic growth and expanding industrial and household consumption.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>India possesses vast renewable energy potential,<\/strong> especially in solar, indicating strong prospects for a long-term clean energy transition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Renewable resources are geographically concentrated,<\/strong> creating the need for better transmission networks and balanced regional development.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The renewable energy sector is expanding rapidly,<\/strong> showing the effectiveness of policy support and technological adoption.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fossil fuels, particularly coal, continue to dominate, <\/strong>highlighting structural dependence and challenges in achieving a swift energy transition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Growing financial flows into the energy sector<\/strong> indicate rising investor confidence, which can accelerate infrastructure development and innovation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pib.gov.in\/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=2246819&amp;reg=3&amp;lang=1\" target=\"_blank\"
