About Solar Mission

Mission Overview

Establishing India as a global leader in solar energy through rapid deployment of solar technologies across utility-scale, rooftop, and off-grid applications.

Vision

To establish India as a global leader in solar energy by creating the policy conditions for solar technology diffusion across the country as quickly as possible.

Key Highlights

Installed Capacity

500 GW RE by 2030

Current Capacity
