India Crosses Historic 100 GW Solar Capacity Milestone
India achieves 100.33 GW of cumulative installed solar capacity, marking a significant step toward its 2030 goal of 500 GW non-fossil energy.
Historic Achievement
India has surpassed 100 GW of cumulative installed solar capacity as of January 31, 2025, marking a critical threshold as it moves toward its 2030 goal of 500 GW of non-fossil energy. The country's solar capacity grew by a record 24.5 GW in 2024, more than double the 2023 total.
Growth Trajectory
The solar power sector in India has seen a 3450% increase in capacity from just 2.82 GW in 2014 to 100 GW by 2025. With an additional 84.10 GW under implementation and 47.49 GW under tendering, the total solar pipeline reaches 231.92 GW.
State Leadership
Rajasthan, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh lead in utility-scale solar installations. The utility-scale solar sector grew substantially with 18.5 GW installed in 2024, representing 2.8 times the capacity added in 2023.
