India has emerged as the world's second-largest solar growth market, with a significant increase in installed capacity from 3 GW in 2014 to 162.15 GW by June 2026. This transformation is driven by policy support, infrastructure development, and citizen participation. Notably, India added 29 GW of renewable energy in the first half of 2026 alone, with 26 GW from solar and 3 GW from wind. Initiatives like PM Surya Ghar Yojana and PM-KUSUM are empowering households and farmers with rooftop solar and solar-powered irrigation respectively. The country aims to reach 500 GW of installed renewable energy capacity by 2030.
