Top 10 solar manufacturing companies in India

The year 2022 will mark a turning point in India’s development of renewable energy. As per the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), India will have attained a total installed renewable energy capacity of 150 GW by November 2021. It includes projects with a total capacity of 50.98 GW in various phases of development. With the $1 trillion “Solar Investment Roadmap for 2030,” India is prepared to become a key provider of solar electricity to surrounding nations as part of the International Solar Alliance’s (ISA) One Sun, One World, One Grid (OSOWOG) initiative. Furthermore, during COP26 in 2021, India’s RE target was set at 500 GW for 2030, enhancing efforts and accelerating implementation.

With effective policies, the Indian government seeks to encourage the use and production of renewable energy, as well as to increase the development of production capacity. It allows RE enterprises to pursue foreign direct investments, interact with the government of India, stimulate startups, and support MNRE’s goals. Government subsidies and incentives for startups and MSMEs are paving the way for the wider use of renewable energy.

Solar energy is estimated to provide over 55% of India’s total renewable energy capacity, which is excellent news for solar panel manufacturers.
