Still a good thing, but title is misleading. 40% of India’s electricity does not come from non-fossil fuel sources. Instead, 40% of their installed capacity is non-fossil-fuel based. There’s a big difference because of the expected capacity factor of wind farms and solar farms vs fossil fuel plants. Even if 40% of your installed capacity is solar, with a capacity factor of 50%, you may be getting only 20% of your Joules from solar (fossil fuel plants generally have very high capacity factors)
