Summary:

In 2025-2026, India added a record 45 GW of solar power, almost tripling the previous year and solidifying its position as a rapidly expanding clean energy industry. According to Union Minister Pralhad Joshi, this demonstrates a dedication to Viksit Bharat, sustainability, and energy security. Large deployments in Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan drove growth. 6.65 GW were added in March 2026 alone, the most in a single month. The milestone demonstrates increased manufacturing, grid integration, and policy readiness. India's renewable pipeline and decarbonization objectives are reinforced with the installation of more than 150 GW. Investments in transmission, storage, green hydrogen, and solar manufacturing are anticipated to increase as state deployments increase, and SECI's dividend is indicative of the sector's overall outstanding performance.
