In 2018, India added 17.6GW of new capacity, and renewable energy accounted for more than 70%.

According to the latest statistics from India, India added 17.
6 GW of total power generation (net) in 2018, of which 74% was based on renewable energy technologies (mainly solar power), a record high, making 2018 the greenest year
to date.

Specifically, India's new installed capacity in 2018 was 17.
6 GW, of which 4.
1 GW came from fossil fuels (including coal, oil, etc.
), about 435 MW from large-scale hydropower, and 13.
1 GW from renewable energy technologies, including 8.
9 GW of solar power capacity and 2.
2 GW
from wind power projects.

Thus, in the total capacity increase, solar energy accounts for 50% of the share, while wind energy accounts for 12%.

Fossil fuels shrank to 24 percent, but slightly higher than 21 percent
in 2017.

Net capacity additions in the second half of 2018 declined sharply from 12.
7 GW added in the first half of 2018, but slightly improved
compared to capacity additions in the second half of 2017 (3.
3 GW).
The fossil fuel industry added only 335 MW of net capacity
.

In the second half of 2018, renewables accounted for 93% of total net additions, with 4.
6 gigawatts of net capacity additions coming from renewable capacity
.
The share of solar is 59%, wind 15% and fossil fuels 6%.

The significant increase in renewable energy capacity last year reflects the share
generated by low-carbon electricity.
The share of renewables in India's overall electricity generation reached an all-time high of 9% between January and November 2018, pending final figures
in December.
The share of wind and overall renewable technologies in overall electricity generation reached record highs of 8.
2% and 11.
9%
respectively in the third quarter of 2018.
