As of March 2026, India’s installed power capacity stands at 535 GW, with 54% coming from non-fossil energy sources.
Solar power is the largest non-fossil energy source, surpassing both wind and large hydro combined.
Indian states spend around ₹2.4 lakh crore annually on subsidizing electricity for agricultural and domestic users. To cut down on this massive expense, India’s flagship solar programs — PM KUSUM for agricultural feeders and PM Surya Ghar for household rooftops — aim to boost the adoption of farm and rooftop solar systems.
