India's solar power sector, reaching 100 GW of installed capacity by January 31, 2025, which reflects a significant push towards renewable energy and a substantial reduction in carbon emissions and need of today for environmental control and save fuels
India's solar power sector has indeed seen a dramatic increase, reaching 100 GW of installed capacity by January 31, 2025, rise from 2.82 GW in 2014 which reflects a significant push towards renewable energy and a substantial reduction in carbon emissions.
Here's a more detailed look:-
Capacity Growth:-
The total installed capacity reached 100.33 GW as of January 31, 2025, with 84.10 GW under implementation and an additional 47.49 GW under tendering, according to PIB.
Rooftop Solar:-
The "PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana" program, launched in 2024, has been a key driver, nearing nine lakh rooftop solar installations, according to The New Indian Express.
Environmental Impact:-
This massive solar capacity expansion is expected to significantly reduce India's reliance on fossil fuels, leading to lower carbon emissions and a cleaner environment, according to Renewable Watch Magazine.
Manufacturing:-
India has also made strides in solar module manufacturing, with a capacity of 60 GW in 2024, aiming for 100 GW by 2030.
Future Targets:
This progress positions India well to achieve its 2030 target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity, according to The Electricity Hub.
