Over 15 GW grid-connected rooftop solar systems installed in five years: MoS Shripad Naik
India installed 15,206 MW of grid-connected rooftop solar capacity across various sectors in the past five years, Minister of State for Power and New and Renewable Energy Shripad Yesso Naik informed Parliament in a written reply on Tuesday, according to a report by news agency IANS. As of June 30, 2025, India's total non-fossil fuel-based electricity generation capacity reached 242.78 GW, the minister further noted in his written reply. The government's push for domestic manufacturing in the solar sector comes from the production-linked incentive scheme for high efficiency solar PV modules. With an outlay of ₹24,000 crore, the scheme aims to achieve gigawatt-scale domestic manufacturing capacity. Under this scheme, Letters of Award have already been issued for setting up of 48,337 MW of fully or partially integrated solar PV module manufacturing units. Under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana , 15.45 lakh households nationwide and 5.23 lakh households in Gujarat have installed rooftop solar systems as of July 14, 2025. A component of this scheme is the development of a Model Solar Village in each district across the country, for which an allocation of ₹800 crore has been made, with a provision of ₹1-crore in central financial assistance per model village.
