India's commitment to clean energy is evident in its target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based capacity by 2030, with solar power expected to contribute a substantial portion, aiming for 280 GW of solar PV capacity by that year. As of January 31, 2025, India has reached a significant milestone of 100 gigawatts in solar installed capacity.
India's cumulative solar power capacity stood at 119.02 GW as of July 2025. This includes 90.99 GW from ground‑mounted solar plants, 19.88 GW from grid‑connected rooftop systems, 3.06 GW from hybrid projects, and 5.09 GW from off‑grid solar installations, reflecting the country's diverse approach to expanding renewable energy.
India is spearheading a solar energy revolution, aiming for 500 GW of non-fossil fuel energy capacity by 2030. The country has rapidly expanded its solar sector, surpassing 100 GW in FY2025, driven by government initiatives like the PLI scheme, rooftop solar programmes and solar parks.
India added 11.3 GW of solar capacity in Q2 2025 compared to around 6.8 GW in Q1 2025, marking a 66.9% quarter-over-quarter increase. The surge was largely driven by policy-linked commissioning deadlines and the boost in rooftop solar installations.
India is in the middle of a major shift in how it generates electricity as solar installations continue to rise at a pace that has surprised even power sector planners. Large-scale projects, policy
