 Fossil Fuels remained the dominant fuel for power generation in 2021, reaching 40% of global electricity
production, 10% points ahead of renewables. Coal’s share of power production had been oscillating around 40%
since the mid 2000s, before starting to slide in 2015 as renewables began to grow strongly. Renewables’ share of
electricity production overcame that of natural gas in 2013 and the gap has kept growing.

*Data from Central Electricity Authority

Coal remains the dominant energy source in India's power generation due to its abundant availability. However,
there's growing awareness of its environmental impact and efforts to transition toward cleaner alternatives.
Hydroelectric power represents a significant source of renewable energy in India. It provides clean and reliable
electricity, although new projects may face environmental challenges. The capacity figure from the Ministry of
New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) reflects India's commitment to reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to
sustainable energy sources.
Overall, India's energy mix reflects a combination of traditional fossil fuels and a growing emphasis on cleaner and
renewable energy sources. The significant capacity in renewables and hydroelectric power demonstrates India's
commitment to sustainability and reducing its carbon footprint while ensuring a reliable energy supply. However,
challenges such as infrastructure development and grid integration need to be addressed for a more sustainable
and balanced energy future.
