India emerging as a solar equipment-making hub
The International Energy Agency (IEA) in a recent energy outlook notes that China accounted for 60% of the new renewable capacity added worldwide in 2023 – and China''s solar PV
India's domestic solar equipment manufacturing capacity has seen a remarkable increase, growing from 2.3 Gigawatt (GW) in 2014 to 100 GW in 2025, a growth that experts are calling a "historic milestone".
The portal shall provide information on government policies and regulations related to the manufacturing of solar energy products in the country. India will have more than 65 percent of its power generation from renewable energy sources by 2030. As of 2021, India already has 42 percent or 170 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity (including hydropower).
India's solar exports rose 227% to $1.8 billion in 2023 from $561 million in 2022 and the US accounted for over 97% of Indian exports. The rest were from Indonesia and a couple of African countries. With more developing countries embracing solar and other renewable energy, opportunities are growing for Indian solar equipment makers.
The growth is supported by initiatives like the Rs. 24,000 crore (US$ 2.74 billion) PLI Scheme and the mandatory local sourcing of solar cells and modules for government projects such as PM-KUSUM and PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana.
