The Indian Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) had set aside a target of 100 GW of solar energy by 2022. The 100 GW were sub divided into 60 GW of utility-scale solar and 40 GW of rooftop solar. The ministry extended the deadline for the Rooftop Solar Programme from the original deadline of December 2022 to 2026, without any financial implication, i.e. within the originally approved total outlay of Rs. 118.14 billion for both components of the programme, incentives to distribution companies and Central financial assistance to the residential sector.
Though India has made significant progress in installation of ground-mounted solar, and more than 55 GW have been installed against the target of 60 GW; the progress for solar rooftop projects is only 10.9 GW (as of July 2023) against the target of 40 GW. In order to address the situation, the governments are planning for public–private partnership (PPP) projects.
