For the state wise installed power generation capacity, refer to States of India by installed power capacity.
Hydroelectric power plants with ≤ 25 MW generation capacity are included in Renewable category .
The breakdown of renewable energy sources is:

Solar power - 135,809.95 MW
Wind power - 54,510.93 MW
Biomass / cogeneration - 10,757.31 MW
Small hydro - 5,158.61 MW
Waste-to-energy - 856.62 MW

The following lists name many of the utility power stations in India.

Conventional

Nuclear power

As of 30 April 2025, India has 25 operational nuclear reactors with a installed capacity of 8880 MW accounting for around 3% of electricity generation. 10 more reactors with total capacity of 8000 MW are under construction.

Thermal power

Thermal power is the largest source of power in India. There are different types of thermal power plants based on the fuel used to generate the steam, such as coal, gas, diesel, and natural gas. About 71% of the electricity consumed in India is generated by thermal power plants.

Coal

More than 62% of India's electricity demand is met through the country's vast coal reserves. Public sector undertaking National Thermal Power Corporation and several other state level power generating companies are engaged in operating coal-based thermal power plants. Apart from NTPC and other state level operators, some private companies also operate the power plants. One coal plant was given environmental clearance in 2021. Although new plants are unlikely to be built, if more coal is burnt in existing plants it will increase gas emissions by India. Here is some list of operating coal-based thermal power plants in India.

Gas-based

The total installed capacity of natural gas based power plants in India is nearly 24,991.51 MW as of September 2018. Here is a list of plants operating and waiting for natural gas to start operations.
