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.
Wood Mackenzie predicts 2-year decline in global solar inverter demand
Wood Mackenzie’s latest analysis expects market uncertainty in China, Europe and the U.S. to cause two consecutive years of contraction in the global solar inverter market, forecasting a fall to 577 GWac this year and 523 GWac in 2026.
ReNew secures long-term agreement with Google for 150 MW solar project in Rajasthan
Following this solar agreement, ReNew’s committed commercial and industrial (C&I) portfolio expands to 2.7 GW (2 GW commissioned and 700 MW under construction). Additionally, it has 700 MW in the pipeline.
The future of impact funding: Aligning capital with sustainable outcomes
The largest area of green financing is energy-efficient machinery, which supports MSMEs in modernising production lines and reducing operational energy consumption. Significant capital is also being channelled into rooftop solar installations, electric vehicles, and enterprises operating in the water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) sectors, across clusters such as manufacturing, healthcare, and food processing.
Kosol Energie to install 4 MW solar plant for Mafatlal’s Nadiad manufacturing facility
Kosol Energie has announced a collaboration with Mafatlal Industries Ltd (MIL) for the installation of a 4 MWp (DC) ground-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant at its Nadiad unit for captive consumption.
Renewables’ share in Indian textile industry’s total power consumption rises
The average share of renewable energy in the Indian textile industry’s total energy consumption increased from about 14% in FY2023 to nearly 18% in FY2025, according to a new report from ICRA ESG Ratings Ltd.
Solar surge in Northern India as Cyclone Ditwah cuts irradiance in the south and Sri Lanka
In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that November brought above-average solar conditions in northern India and Pakistan, while southeastern India and Sri Lanka faced reduced solar output due to Cyclone Ditwah’s storms and heavy cloud cover. Despite southern disruptions, India’s renewable energy share rose, driven by strong solar generation in the north and overall growth in renewable capacity.
Naxion Energy launches India’s first sodium-ion energy storage systems
Naxion Energy (formerly Sodion Energy) has introduced its sodium-ion–based energy storage systems for the residential and commercial & industrial sectors. The storage systems are available in 3.5 kW, 5 kW, and 10 kW models, and the batteries can be expanded to double the system’s storage capacity.
Brazil to add 11.4 GW of solar in 2025 despite regulatory hurdles
Brazilian photovoltaic association ABSolar says solar capacity additions may fall 24% to 10.6 GW in 2026 from 15 GW in 2024, with regulatory barriers, high capital costs, and restricted self‑generation access slowing investment and reducing jobs.
