Clean share is running below its usual weekly pace — 13.1% right now versus a 23.6% average this week
Thermal generation is filling a larger share of demand than it has this week.

Today's Story
What happened
Clean sources are supplying 13.1% of India's electricity right now, against 83.0% from thermal, with demand at 183 GW. Today's peak clean share so far is 34.9 points short of yesterday's peak.
Why it happened
Renewable output is holding steady for now — solar and wind track the sun, so clean share moves in a curve through the day, not a flat number. Thermal — coal and lignite combined — keeps running as the grid's baseload, while hydro at 11.7 GW is what operators lean on to smooth the swings in between.
What to watch next
Demand typically peaks around 9:45 AM, the moment the grid leans hardest on thermal — watch whether clean share holds through that window.
