India's Solar Ambitions: ₹3.2 Trillion Investment Needed for Expansion
India's solar sector is
on a growth trajectory, with an anticipated ₹2 trillion needed for new projects
over the next two years. To meet the FY30 target of ~293 GW, the current pace
of solar capacity additions must double. Despite a record addition of ~15 GW in
FY24, solar energy still makes up only ~19% of installed capacity. Challenges
include insufficient domestic manufacturing and reliance on imports. The
government’s incentives and increased credit opportunities are aimed at
overcoming these hurdles and attracting investments, crucial for meeting future
goals.
