Utility Scale Grid Connected Solar Projects

India ranks No. 3 globally in electricity and power consumption. As of mid-2026, according to the MNRE portal, India’s total renewable energy (RE) installed capacity has surpassed 288.58 GW, including large hydro. Reflecting the government’s unwavering commitment to a sustainable future, non-fossil fuel power generation has been prioritized at the highest levels. Notably, solar energy now commands the top position within India’s renewable portfolio, with a remarkable installed base of over 162.15 GW (May 2026) —setting a benchmark for leadership and ambition in the global energy transition
