The production capacity of India will considerably rise the production capacity of the solar module and reached 160 GW until 2030 – an increase of 80 GW in 2025. The production capacity of solar cells is expected to grow from 15 GW to 120 GW. Waffle and polysilicon capacities are also expected to expand from 6 GW in 2025 to 100 GW by 2030, according to a new report from SolarPower Europe, with India-specific projections that are contributed by NSEFI.
This projected growth emphasizes India’s focus on expanding the production base of solar production to support goals for renewable energy consumption and reducing import dependence.
India focuses on 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. The country surpassed 100 GW AC installed solar capacity in February 2025, with more than half added in the past three years. To achieve its objective for renewable energy from 2030, India is planning to install another 200 GW Zonne -Zonne energy in the coming five years. The annual PV installations rose year after year 145% to 30.7 GW in 2024 and are expected to grow by 21% to 37.3 GW in 2025.
Based on current trends and policy support, the report expected the cumulative installed solar PV capacity from India to reach 280 GW to 320 GW (AC) respectively by 2030, under low and fast-growing scenarios.
