271.96 GW non-fossil fuel based electricity capacity has been installed in the country.
The source-wise and State-wise details of Renewable Energy capacity installed during the last three
financial years and the current financial year (till 31.01.2026) are given at Annexure-I.
In Bharatpur district of Rajasthan, under PM-Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, 1241 rooftop solar systems
have been installed as on 09.03.2026. Further, under PM-KUSUM Component-B, 420 Solar pumps
have been installed in the district.
(c) Most of the utility-scale renewable energy projects in the country are being set up by developers,
selected through a transparent bidding process. Government of Rajasthan has issued Rajasthan
Integrated Clean Energy Policy, 2024 for promotion of renewable energy in the State. The policy aims
to achieve a target of 125 GW renewable energy capacity in the State by 2029-30. The Rajasthan
Renewable Energy Corporation Limited (RRECL) has informed that the State target of Renewable
Energy has not been bifurcated District-wise.
(d) & (e) Under the Union Budget, allocations are provided on year-on-year basis. For MNRE, during
