Apr 11, 2025
New Delhi [India], April 11: The Indian solar industry is taking a bold leap toward manufacturing leadership. On Day 1 of the TaiyangNews Solar Technology Conference India 2025, Subramanyam Pulipaka, CEO of the National Solar Energy Federation of India (NSEFI), representing India's solar industry, forecasted that the country's solar module manufacturing capacity will reach 160 GW by 2030, alongside 120 GW of cell and 100 GW each of wafer and polysilicon capacity. That would be twice the module manufacturing capacity of around 80 GW in 2025 and 8 times the cell production capacity of 15 GW this year. After grid-connecting a record 24.5 GW (AC) in 2024, India's total installed solar generation capacity reached 100 GW (AC) earlier this year, twice as large as the wind power generation fleet.
