Rubix Data Sciences , a leader in risk management and monitoring, has unveiled a comprehensive sectoral report on India’s solar energy landscape. The report underscores the nation’s impressive strides in renewable energy as it strives to achieve its ambitious target of 500 GW of clean energy capacity by 2030 9. With detailed insights into growth drivers, policy frameworks, and market trends, the analysis paints a promising picture of India’s solar sector, positioning the country as a global leader in clean energy adoption.
Rapid Expansion of Solar Energy Capacity
India’s solar energy sector has witnessed exponential growth, surpassing the 100 GW installed capacity milestone and securing a place among the world’s top solar energy producers. Over the past decade, solar capacity has grown at an astounding 38% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) , now accounting for over 60% of the country’s total renewable energy portfolio.
In FY2024 , India added a record-breaking 24.5 GW of solar capacity , more than doubling the previous year’s installations. This remarkable achievement reflects the government’s commitment to scaling renewable energy infrastructure and fostering sustainable development.
A Shift Toward Self-Reliance in Solar Manufacturing
One of the standout findings in the report is India’s growing focus on domestic manufacturing. Solar module imports from China have declined significantly, dropping from over 90% in FY2022 to 65% in FY2024 . During the same period, solar exports surged 23-fold , reaching nearly USD 2 billion in FY2024.
This shift highlights India’s efforts to reduce dependency on foreign imports while strengthening its position in the global renewable energy market. By promoting local manufacturing through initiatives like Production Linked Incentives (PLI) , India is fostering a robust ecosystem for clean energy innovation and sustainability.
Leadership Perspective: Paving the Way for a Sustainable Future
Commenting on the report’s findings, Mohan Ramaswamy , Co-Founder and CEO of Rubix Data Sciences, stated, “India’s progress in solar energy is nothing short of remarkable. By prioritizing local manufacturing and reducing reliance on imports, we are paving the way for a cleaner, more sustainable future. The opportunities ahead are immense, and we remain committed to driving innovation in this dynamic sector. India’s relentless efforts are already positioning it as a global leader in clean energy.”
Ramaswamy’s remarks underscore the transformative potential of India’s solar energy initiatives and their role in shaping a greener tomorrow.
Strong Outlook for India’s Solar Sector
The future of India’s solar energy sector looks exceptionally bright, thanks to increasing government support, rising foreign investments, and rapid technological advancements. Key initiatives such as the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM) and Solar Parks Scheme are accelerating capacity addition while creating new avenues for economic growth.
