Solar power constitutes 38.2% of the total renewable power installed capacity of 83.83 GW, whereas Wind continued to lead with 44% of capacity(36.9 GW). However, the pace of growth of Solar over the last decade has been much higher than wind.

For example, wind constituted more than 70% of the total renewable installed capacity at the end of the financial year 2012-13(click here for more details) whereas solar’s contribution was only 6%.
