Gujarat stands tall as India’s renewable energy champion, accounting for 16.50 percent of national capacity with 42.583 GW installed by December 2025. Leading in total renewables and wind (14,820.94 MW), and topping rooftop solar with 6,412.80 MW from 11 lakh systems, the state embodies PM Modi’s push for 50 percent green power by 2030.
Solar prowess includes 25,529.40 MW total: ground-mounted giants, residential/commercial rooftops via PM Surya Ghar (1,913 MW), and off-grid pumps. Parks in Charanka, Radhanesda, Dholera, and Khavda—the world’s largest at 37.35 GW potential—drive progress. Wind leadership stems from early policies, with Kutch alone at 7,476.73 MW and hybrids adding heft.
Strategic policies like 2023’s RE framework remove barriers, clarify charges, and integrate storage and manufacturing. The Distributed RE Bilateral Procurement scheme and Akshay Urja Setu portal accelerate 5,203 ongoing projects for 68.37 GW more capacity. Employment soars with 2.37 lakh jobs created.
Gujarat’s 2030 goal of 105 GW aligns with India’s 500 GW ambition, showcased at RE Invest 2024. From incentivizing home solar since 2016 to fostering hybrids and recycling, the state weaves policy, innovation, and execution into a green tapestry, setting benchmarks for sustainable development nationwide.
