India’s ambitious Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for High Efficiency Solar PV Modules has resulted in the establishment of 18.5 GW of PV module manufacturing capacity as of June 30, 2025.  In addition, 9.7 GW of solar cell and 2.2 GW of ingot-wafer capacity has been established under this scheme.

Jaicky Kumar, co-founder and CEO of Voltanova—a deep-tech firm incubated by the Foundation for Science, Innovation and Development (FSID) at IISc—speaks to pv magazine about Voltanova’s thermal battery system and how it compares to lithium-based energy storage.

As global investors, consumers, and regulators demand deeper climate accountability, India’s position as a manufacturing and export hub will increasingly hinge on how credibly its businesses can measure and manage emissions. That credibility will come not from declarations, but from data.

Oriana Power Ltd has emerged as the winning bidder in Solar Energy Corp. of India’s (SECI) third e-reverse auction for green ammonia by quoting a tariff of INR 52.25/kg ($600/tonne) for 60,000 metric tonnes per annum (MTPA).

Bhutan has awarded a contract for the 120 MW Jamjee solar project to a consortium of local firm Rigsar Construction and India’s HILD Energy. The project will be the country’s largest solar installation once completed.

ADM Solar has supplied 30 MW of high-efficiency bifacial mono PERC PV modules for a project in Gujarat under Component-C of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyaan (PM-KUSUM) scheme.

The true breakthrough is when smart grids connect with solar power together. That connection opens up a lot of possibilities. Smart grids will tell us what a solar energy system can produce by predicting the weather and adjusting the transfer of electricity in real time.

RenewSys showcased its newly developed anti-acid EVA encapsulant, eco-friendly backsheet, and super-barrier backsheet at PV components technology conclave, Anusandhan, held in Gandhinagar, Gujarat.

Hindustan Power has secured a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Uttar Pradesh Power Corp. Ltd (UPPCL) for a 435 MW DC solar PV project to be set up in the state. The project was awarded by UPPCL through a competitive bidding process in April 2025.
