He said ‘we have already crossed the milestone of halfway to our target of 500 GW. Moreover, India has also achieved 50 per cent of its installed electricity capacity from non-fossil fuel sources, 5 years ahead of the target set under its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to the Paris Agreement. In fact, among the G20 countries, India is the only nation to achieve its 2030 goals by 2021.’

To put it in perspective, the number of families that will benefit from Surya Ghar exceeds the population of countries like Austria, Switzerland, Israel, or Singapore.

During the same time, our PV cell manufacturing capacity tripled from 9 GW to 25 GW, and is 27 GW now. This is a result of bold PLI incentives, competitive bidding, and regulatory reforms.’
