India has achieved 127 GW of installed solar capacity and is progressing steadily towards its 500 GW non-fossil energy target by 2030, said Vibha Dhawan, Director-General of The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI).
Dhawan said that government initiatives such as the National Green Hydrogen Mission and Production-Linked Incentive schemes for solar and battery manufacturing are strengthening the domestic value chain.
“The focus now must shift toward viewing sustainability as a strategic enabler of industrial competitiveness and inclusive development,” Dhawan said while speaking at the 18th Renewable Energy India Expo in Greater Noida scheduled from October 30 to November 1, 2025.
According to the official press release, LONGi has entered into a strategic module supply agreement with Inox for the Indian market, combining LONGi’s global technological expertise with Inox’s manufacturing capabilities to deliver high-performance solar products tailored for the country’s clean energy goals.
“INOX has partnered with LONGi to jointly supply 5 GW of high-efficiency modules over the next three years,” said Devesh Sharma, CEO, INOX Solar. He added that policy alignment under the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers scheme is enabling greater localisation.
“India’s renewable energy sector today stands at the intersection of innovation, economic viability, and environmental stewardship. Having pioneered sub-₹3 per unit tariffs without subsidies and powered about 65 per cent of Delhi Metro’s daytime demand, we are delivering round-the-clock solar-plus-storage power at ₹2.70 per unit,” said Manu Shrivastava, IAS, Additional Chief Secretary, New & Renewable Energy Department, Madhya Pradesh government.
He added that the recently floated 440 MW solar-plus-storage project in Morena, Madhya Pradesh, with 95 per cent availability for four peak hours through BESS, has established in India that solar energy remains viable even when stored and supplied during non-solar hours.
Goldi Solar Director Dhruv Dholakiya said that India’s renewable energy sector is at an “inflection point” driven by innovation and self-reliance.
“The focus on solar energy, bioenergy, energy storage and emerging segments like e-mobility and green hydrogen underscores how integrated technologies are shaping the next decade of sustainable growth,” said Vikram Solar CMD Gyanesh Chaudhary.
