India's solar and wind power surged in early 2025, significantly boosting clean energy's share and slashing power sector emissions by 24 million tonnes. This remarkable growth outpaced electricity demand, which saw its slowest rise since the pandemic, driven by milder weather and reduced cooling needs. The shift away from fossil fuels is evident as coal power generation declined substantially.
