In January, India reached 20 GW solar energy capacity, according to clean energy market tracker Mercom India; China's generating capacity is 130 gw. Sixty per cent of India's installed capacity comes from coal, while actual generation of electricity is 75 per cent. Renewables contribute 18 per cent. The rest comes from nuclear, biomass and other sources. China has the same energy mix, but its level of industrialisation enables it to deploy renewables generation infrastructure more effectively, while India is still catching up.
