India Surpasses 100 GW Solar Capacity: A Major Milestone in Renewable Energy

India has achieved a remarkable milestone in its renewable energy journey by surpassing 100.33 gigawatts (GW) of installed solar capacity. This achievement underscores the nation’s dedication to clean energy and represents a significant step in reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

India’s Solar Growth in Numbers

According to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), as of January 31, 2025, India’s solar capacity has officially reached 100.33 GW. Additionally, the country has an impressive pipeline of upcoming solar projects:

• 84.10 GW of solar projects currently under implementation
• 47.49 GW of solar projects tendered and awaiting the issuance of a Letter of Award (LoA)
• 231.91 GW total solar pipeline, including operational, under-construction, and tendered projects

Hybrid and RTC Renewable Energy Expansion

India is not only advancing in standalone solar projects but also making significant strides in hybrid and round-the-clock (RTC) renewable energy solutions. Currently:

• 39.78 GW of hybrid and RTC projects are under implementation
• 24.90 GW have been tendered but are awaiting LoAs
• 64.67 GW total hybrid and RTC pipeline

When combined with the solar pipeline, the total renewable energy projects under implementation and tendered reach an astounding 296.59 GW.

Key Drivers Behind India’s Solar Success

This achievement is the result of continuous efforts by the government, industry leaders, engineers, and investors working together to harness solar energy. The Indian government, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, has been instrumental in setting ambitious renewable energy targets and providing strong policy support. Developers and contractors have been relentless in executing projects, while engineers and workers have contributed with their expertise and dedication. Investors have also played a crucial role in financing projects, recognizing India’s potential as a global renewable energy powerhouse.

A Greener Future for India

Local communities have embraced solar energy, supporting the shift towards a cleaner and more sustainable future. As India continues expanding its solar and hybrid renewable projects, the country is poised to solidify its position as a global leader in green energy.

At Pronounce Solar, we celebrate this historic milestone and remain committed to supporting India’s transition towards a cleaner, more sustainable energy landscape. Stay tuned for more updates on India’s solar revolution!
