India’s solar power has grown nearly 20 times since December 2015, at an average growth rate of 40% per year. As of 2025, it is now India’s third largest source of electricity behind hydro. This graph charts India's solar power growth relative to the equivalent total electricity demand of other nations.
According to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), India’s total solar energy potential is estimated at approximately 750 GW, highlighting significant untapped opportunities. Recent technological advancements have greatly enhanced solar viability in India.
With about 300 clear and sunny days in a year, the calculated solar energy incidence on India's land area is about 5,000 lakh crore (5,000 trillion) kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year (or 5 E Wh/yr). The solar energy available in a single year exceeds the possible energy output of all of the fossil fuel energy reserves in India.
