India has added 52,537 megawatts (MW) of electricity generation from all sources combined in the ongoing financial year until January 31, the Union Ministry of Power said on Sunday (February 15, 2026). This translates to an addition of more than 11% to the total installed capacity of the country at end of the erstwhile financial year.

“This [also] marks the highest ever capacity addition in a single year, surpassing the previous record of 34,054 MW achieved during FY 2024–25,” it stated.
