据路透社2020年2月17日题为India's annual coal power output falls for first time in a decade的报道称，印度2019年煤电发电量下降，为过去十年来的第一次。主要原因是经济增速放缓以及可再生能源比例提升。

印度Central Electricity Authority (CEA)发布的数据显示，2019年印度煤电发电量为965.53TWh，同比降低2.5%。2019年天然气发电五年来首次下降至47.98TWh，比去年的50.26TWh降低4.5%。Electricity generation from coal-fired utilities fell about 2.5% to 965.53 billion units in 2019, an analysis of fuel-wise electricity generation data by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) showed. Electricity generation from gas-based power plants fell for the first time in five years to 47.98 billion units in 2019, down 4.5% from 50.26 billion units the previous year, CEA data showed. 太阳能发电量增长25%，风能增长5%。太阳能和风能总计占印度总发电量比重增长到8.8%。2015年这个数值是3.6%。Solar energy output rose by over a quarter while wind energy generation rose 5%, the data showed. The contribution of solar and wind energy to India’s overall energy generation rose to 8.8%, more than double their share of 3.6% in 2015. 2019年印度可再生能源装机容量增长16%，达85.9GW，煤电增加3.9%，达198.5GW。印度设定的可再生能源装机容量目标为到2022年达到175GW。India’s renewable capacity rose 16% to 85.9 GW in 2019, while coal-fired capacity rose 3.9% to 198.5 GW. Seeking to expedite clean energy as some coal-fired power plants face closure, Asia’s third-largest economy has set a target to raise renewable energy capacity to 175 gigawatts by 2022. 
印度总理穆迪宣布可再生能源装机容量占比目标到2030年达到40%，目前为23.3%。Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants to increase adoption of green energy sources to fight climate change and increase the share of renewable energy to 40% of installed capacity by 2030, from 23.3% now.
