India’s 2025 renewable energy sector review: Key highlights and way forward
With record 40+ GW solar and wind installations (solar: 34.9+ GW, wind: 5.8+GW), 2025 has marked yet another high point in Indian annual renewable capacity additions. The capacity additions have been driven by strong project momentum across all solar segments.
Taiwan on track to deploy 31.2 GW of solar by 2035
UK-based GlobalData says Taiwan is on course to more than double its current solar capacity by the end of 2035.
India’s energy transition has shifted gears decisively
India is moving decisively beyond capacity addition toward system-level maturity. Expanded transmission planning, a more diversified energy mix and better regulatory clarity signal a market design that is becoming ever more dynamic and future ready.
BNEF flags potential global solar slowdown in 2026 as China cools
BloombergNEF (BNEF) projects a slight year-on-year dip in global solar additions in 2026 as China’s growth eases, even as installations elsewhere continue to rise.
Why Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities will drive India’s next big solar jump
Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities are no longer behind in the solar journey, they are becoming the main growth drivers. With better government support, easier net-metering rules, and more awareness about savings, people in smaller cities are now ready for rooftop solar in a big way.
