The Southern region of the country is leading the pack with installed renewable capacity (as of 31st May 2023) of over 62.6 GW, followed by the Northern and Western regions with 53.9 GW and approximately 48 GW of installed renewable energy capacities, respectively.

The Eastern region reportedly lags behind with approximately 34.3 GW of installed renewable energy capacity. The North Eastern region (2.49 GW) and islands (38.4 MW) contribute to a total of 173.6 GW of installed renewable capacity across India.
