By November 2017, renewables constituted 18 percent of India’s installed power capacity of 331 GW, up from 13 percent in 2014, when the BJP government took office.

But over two years to 2017, India missed its ambitious targets substantially.

During 2017-18, 4.8 GW renewables capacity was added till 30 November 2017, against a target of over 14 GW, according to a government release published by the Press Information Bureau (PIB) on 27 December 2017.
