India Solar and Wind Capacity, Cost, and Policy Data 2010–2025

Varshaa Arun compiled a longitudinal dataset supporting comparative analysis of Solar PV and Wind Energy deployment in India from 2010 to 2025. The dataset includes installed capacity by year, LCOE trajectories, auction-discovered tariffs, and state-level deployment data. Primary sources are IRENA Renewable Power Generation Costs (2025), MNRE Year-wise Achievements, and CEA.

Use Cases

• Forecast renewable energy capacity growth based on installed capacity by year
• Compare cost competitiveness between solar and wind based on LCOE trajectories and auction tariffs
• Analyze state-level policy effectiveness based on state-level deployment data
• Conduct sensitivity analysis for energy models using the included sensitivity analysis parameters

Strengths

• Data covers a 15-year longitudinal period from 2010 to 2025
• Compiled from authoritative sources including IRENA, MNRE, and CEA
• Includes multiple data facets: capacity, cost, tariffs, and state-level deployment

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
