India‘s Solar Market Achieves Historic Breakthrough
According to JMK Research and the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE)， India added a record 45GW of solar PV capacity in FY2026 (April 2025 – March 2026). During the same period， India’s total non-fossil fuel capacity increased by 55.3GW， reaching 275GW cumulatively， with solar dominating the additions.
This explosive growth is driven by rapid development of large-scale solar parks， the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana (which promotes residential rooftop solar)， and the continuous expansion of module manufacturing capacity – India‘s solar module capacity has grown from approximately 119GW a year ago to about 172GW.
Market Drivers： Policy + Manufacturing + Storage
- Rooftop Solar Incentives： The PM Surya Ghar scheme offers subsidies and low-interest loans to install rooftop solar on 10 million households， fueling distributed solar growth.
- Local Manufacturing： India’s module capacity has reached 172GW， but cell capacity lags (~27GW)， creating stable demand for high-efficiency cells and modules from international brands like JinkoSolar.
- Storage Policy Boost： The government has extended BCD exemption on lithium-ion batteries until March 31， 2028， reducing dependency on imports and supporting alternative technologies like sodium-ion. This improves the cost environment for solar+storage projects.
What Kind of Modules Does the Indian Market Need？
India‘s diverse climate – from desert heat in Rajasthan to coastal humidity – demands modules with high-temperature resistance， anti-PID performance， and salt-mist tolerance. Rooftop projects also benefit from high-power， high-efficiency modules to maximize limited space and reduce BOS costs.

ROI Example： 1MW Ground-Mount Plant in Rajasthan， India
Assume 1，800 annual utilization hours (typical for many parts of India)， electricity price $0.06/kWh：
| Comparison | Standard PERC 550W | Jinko Tiger Neo 3.0 670W |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Modules | ~1，818 | ~1，493 (18% fewer) |
| 25-Year Generation | ~49.5 million kWh | ~54.0 million kWh |
| Generation Revenue | $2.97 million | $3.24 million |
| Difference | - | +$270，000 |
Adding storage can further enhance returns through peak shaving and backup power.
India‘s Solar Market ‘Golden Era‘ Has Arrived
Record 45GW annual addition is just the beginning.
