Solar power installed capacity

Baseline is 2010 — the year the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) launched, when installed solar capacity was negligible (<10 MW). India's 100 GW solar target (originally 2022) was achieved by late 2024. The 2030 NDC target is 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity. Utility-scale solar dominates new additions; distributed rooftop solar (~35 GW) and the PM Surya Ghar scheme form a growing segment. Land acquisition and grid integration remain challenges at scale.
