At the recently concluded 26th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow, India announced that it will raise its non-fossil energy capacity to 500 GW by 2030. Solar energy will play a key role in achieving this target.
As of November 2021, the nation has cumulatively added 48.56 GW of solar power capacity. From January to November this year, 11.1 GW of solar capacity has been commissioned across the country, which is 250% higher than the figures last year.
