Gujarat has emerged as India’s largest contributor to renewable energy capacity, accounting for 16.50 per cent of the national total. As of December 2025, the state’s installed renewable power capacity has reached 42.583 GW, placing Gujarat at the forefront of India’s clean energy transition and strengthening the country’s pathway towards its long-term climate commitments.
Top Ranking Among Indian States
Under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, Gujarat ranks first among all Indian states in total installed renewable energy capacity and wind power capacity, and second in solar power capacity. Wind energy contributes 14,820.94 MW, while solar energy accounts for 25,529.40 MW. The remaining capacity is derived from hybrid and off-grid renewable sources.
Solar Power Expansion and Mega Parks
Gujarat’s solar capacity includes 17,771.21 MW from ground-mounted projects, 6,412.80 MW from rooftop installations, 1,172.38 MW from wind–solar hybrid projects, and 173.01 MW from off-grid systems, including those under the PM KUSUM scheme. Major operational solar parks include Charanka (749 MW), Radhanesda (700 MW), and Dholera (300 MW). The Khavda renewable energy park in Kutch, planned at 37.35 GW, has already commissioned 11.33 GW, making it the world’s largest renewable energy park under development.
Rooftop Solar and Wind Leadership
The state leads India in rooftop solar installations, with over 1.1 million systems generating 6,412.80 MW, accounting for more than 25 per cent of the national rooftop solar capacity. This includes installations under the Surya Gujarat scheme, the PM Surya Ghar Yojana, and other programmes. Wind energy installations stand at 14,820.64 MW, with Kutch alone contributing nearly half of the total capacity.
Important Facts
- Gujarat contributes 16.50 per cent of India’s total renewable energy capacity.
- The Khavda renewable energy park is the largest such project under development globally.
- The state ranks first in wind power capacity and rooftop solar installations.
- Gujarat targets 105 GW renewable capacity by 2030.
Employment and Future Targets
Officials estimate that renewable energy projects in Gujarat have generated around 2.37 lakh direct and indirect jobs. The state currently has 5,203 renewable projects under implementation and aims to achieve 105 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, contributing about 20 per cent to India’s planned 500 GW non-fossil fuel energy capacity.
