Gujarat has become India’s top contributor to renewable energy capacity, representing 16.50% of the nation’s total capacity, which reached 42.583 GW by December 2025. This progress positions Gujarat as a key player in India’s shift towards clean energy to achieve goals of 50% electricity from renewables by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2070.
Under Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel’s leadership, Gujarat ranks first in total installed renewable energy capacity and wind power capacity, and second in solar power capacity. The state’s renewable capacity includes 14,820.94 MW from wind energy and 25,529.40 MW from solar energy, with additional contributions from hybrid and off-grid sources.
Gujarat is a leader in rooftop solar installations, with over 1.1 million systems installed across various sectors, generating 6,412.80 MW. The state accounts for more than 25% of India’s total rooftop solar installations, including capacities under different schemes like Surya Gujarat and PM Surya Ghar Yojana.
In the solar sector, Gujarat boasts an installed capacity of 25,529.40 MW, with significant contributions from ground-mounted projects, rooftop systems, wind-solar hybrid projects, and off-grid systems. Noteworthy solar parks in the state include Charanka, Radhanesda, and Dholera, along with the massive renewable energy park at Khavda in Kutch.
Chief Minister Patel attributes Gujarat’s renewable energy growth to consistent policy support and efficient implementation aligned with national climate goals. The state’s renewable energy projects have created approximately 2.37 lakh direct and indirect jobs, showcasing the economic benefits of sustainable energy initiatives.
Gujarat has ambitious targets, aiming to achieve 105 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, which would contribute significantly to India’s goal of 500 GW non-fossil fuel energy capacity. The state currently has numerous renewable energy projects under implementation, including solar, wind, and hybrid projects, emphasizing its commitment to sustainable energy development.
