India surpasses 132 GW of installed solar capacity: MNRE
Solar PV capacity addition is led by Rajasthan, which accounts for 27% (36 GW) of the cumulative installed capacity. Gujarat ranks second with 24.8 GW, followed by Maharashtra with 17.2 GW. Together, these three states account for over 58% of India’s total installed solar capacity.
Why EPC leaders must diversify across energy transition and digital infrastructure
The EPC organisations that choose to lead across both the energy transition and digital infrastructure will not simply respond to the coming decades of change, they will shape them.
