Renewable Generation Enters a New Phase

During April–July 2026, the country’s northern region generated 68,679.79 MU and remained the largest regional generator. With 58,295.92 MU, the southern region followed, and the western region was the third-largest generator at 56,498.75 MU. However, the western region’s generation remarkably increased by 33.9 percent vis-à-vis 4.8 percent of the north and 0.3 percent of the south. Although significantly smaller in absolute terms, the northeastern region recorded the fastest growth at 59.4 percent. Zeroing in on states, Gujarat ranked first, as its generation rose from 24,138.35 MU to 35,914.08 MU, a 48.8 percent rise. Rajasthan registered 23.5 percent with 29,964.02 MU generation. Conversely, Kerala’s generation fell 28 percent, and Himachal Pradesh 11.4 percent.

The country’s wind generation during April–July 2026 was 52,067.83 MU against 49,450.54 MU last year, recording a 5.3 percent. Wind generation remained concentrated in regions that have traditionally been wind belts. While the southern region generated 24,013.74 MU, the western region generated 23,951.58 MU. However, they showed a divergence in their trajectories, as the southern region’s wind generation fell 1.2 percent and the western region’s generation rose 9.7 percent. A look at the state level showed that Karnataka’s wind generation increased 12.1 percent and Gujarat’s rose 13.1 percent. In contrast, Tamil Nadu’s wind generation fell 11.5 percent.
