Historic overview of installed capacity
India's installed capacity has increased from 160 GW as of 31st March 2010 to 356 GW as of 31st March 2019. The conventional based energy installed capacity has increased from 102 GW as of 31st March 2010 to 226 GW as of 31st March 2019. Among conventional sources, coal and lignite based energy generation installed capacity has increased the most (from 84 GW as on 31st March 2010 to 201 GW as on 31st March 2019).
Interestingly, the diesel-based generation capacity has decreased from 1.2 GW as of 31st March 2010 to 0.6 GW as of 31st March 2019. The nuclear-based capacity has increased from 4.5 GW as of 31st March 2010 to 6.8 GW as of 31st March 2019. However, the most significant growth has been observed in the renewable energy sector as the sector grew from 16 GW as of 31st March 2010 to 78 GW as of 31st March 2019.
