India holds the 3rd position globally in solar energy capacity, reflecting its rapid progress in the renewable energy sector. With a dramatic rise in solar capacity from just 2.63 GW in 2014 to 108 GW in 2025—a 41-fold increase—India has become a clean energy powerhouse. This transformation is fueled by initiatives like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, ISTS charge waivers, and ambitious programs like PM Surya Ghar and PM-KUSUM. India's strategic focus on solar energy not only advances its own sustainability goals but also significantly contributes to global clean energy efforts.
