“The installed generation capacity projection in 2035-36 shows that the country is moving toward a strong transition to non-fossil energy. Renewable sources, especially solar PV, hydro, and wind, will dominate future capacity, supported by Energy Storage Systems,” according to the policy.
India’s solar capacity is projected to grow at a 22% annual rate through 2035, driven by rising electricity demand from data centers, green hydrogen production, urbanization, and industrial expansion.
