All of the rich developed countries relied on cheap fossil fuels. Can India be the first to develop with renewable energy? They are certainly making impressive progress.
India installed 24 GW solar in FY2025, says JMK Research
India installed 23.8 GW of new solar capacity in FY2025, including 16.9 GW from utility-scale, 5,148 MW rooftop and 1,785 MW offgrid installations.
