"New data from global energy think tank Ember reveals that the share of fossil
fuels in Rajasthan’s power generation mix has hit record-low levels at 50% from
April to July. This is the first time that the lowest level was sustained for
over a quarter of the year.

Fossil fuels produced 34 TWh of electricity from January to July 2023, showing
no growth (-1.6%) in comparison to the same period in 2022. Meanwhile, solar
and wind power generation grew 28% year-on-year, having produced 27 TWh in the
same period this year. Just two years ago, solar and wind generation would have
been less than half of the amount we see today. Combined with other clean
sources (nuclear, hydro, bioenergy), clean power generation in Rajasthan is now
on par with fossil generation."
