Summary:

In terms of annual solar capacity additions, India surpassed the US to become the world's secondlargest solar growth market in 2025. With more than 155 GW of installed solar power, the nation is remaining ahead of its climate obligations and moving closer to its target of obtaining 50% of electricity capacity from non-fossil fuel sources. This expansion has been fuelled by increased investments, infrastructural development, and strong policy backing. Over 40 lakh homes have been able to install rooftop solar systems thanks to flagship programs like PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, which lower power costs and encourage the usage of clean energy. Additionally, the industry is strengthening India's leadership in renewable energy and international climate change initiatives by increasing domestic manufacturing, employment, and innovation.
