India Adds 27 GW of Solar Capacity Till November

India added 27 gigawatts (GW) of solar power capacity in the first eight months of the financial year 2025–26, according to the latest data released by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). This represents a year-on-year growth of nearly 120% in solar installations up to November.

A comparison of data from the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) and MNRE shows that during the same period last year, India added only 12.35 GW of solar capacity. The sharp increase in FY26 installations points to a faster execution of previously tendered ground-mounted solar projects, along with a strong pickup in rooftop solar installations.

Wind power additions also gathered pace during the period. India added 3.94 GW of wind capacity till November in the current financial year, compared with around 2 GW added during the corresponding period last year.
