@The break up of renewable energy sources (RES) is small hydro (4,101.55 MW), wind power (23,762.81 MW), Biomass power & gasification (4,418.55 MW), Waste-to-energy (127.08 MW), and Solar power (3743.97 MW).[1][3]

For the state wise allocation of the installed utility power capacity, refer to States of India by allocated power capacity.

The following lists name many of the power stations in India.[4]

Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant with first unit (1,000 MW) commissioned in the year 2013. With initial capacity of 2,000 MW, this station will be expanded to 6,800 MW capacity.

Non-renewable

Nuclear power

Twenty nuclear power reactors operated at seven sites by the Nuclear Power Corporation of India has an installed capacity of 4,780 MW,[5] 2.9% of total installed base.

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, and Diesel. About 65% of electricity consumed in India are generated by thermal power plants.

Coal

More than 51% of India's commercial energy demand is met through the country's vast coal reserves. Public sector undertaking National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) 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 are also operating the power plants. Here is some list of operating coal-based thermal power plants in India.[13]

Gas- or liquid fuel-based

As on April 30, 2015, and as per the Central Electricity Authority the total installed capacity of Natural gas and liquid fuel based gas turbine power plants in India, is nearly 23,008 MW.[23] Here is a list of plants operating and waiting for natural gas to start operations.[24]

Diesel-based

As on April 30, 2015 and as per the Central Electricity Authority the total installed capacity of major grid connected diesel-based power plants in India, is 1,026.09 MW.[28] However the installed capacity of captive power DG sets is nearly 90,000 MW.[29] Here is the part list of grid connected plants.
