India has been adding solar PV capacity over the years. PV Tech reported that India had added 12.8GW of solar PV in the FY2023, an 8% decrease year-on-year according to JMK Research. About 8GW of utility-scale PV was added in FY2023, a 21% drop off compared with FY2022, whilst around 2.2GW of rooftop solar was added at a modest 1.2% increase year-on-year.

A further 836MW of off-grid/distributed solar came online, just over half the capacity added the year before.
