India’s rooftop solar program has provided power to 5.06 million households, creating 14.8 gigawatts of capacity with an investment of ₹75,021 crore (US$7.9 billion).
Installation rates increased significantly, rising from 5,038 daily installations in October 2025 to approximately 16,328 in July 2026. July saw a record 506,000 installations. However, the program aims to reach one crore (10 million) households by March 2027 and, based on current installation rates, may miss this deadline.
Indian analysts calculate that continuing at July’s pace would require roughly ten months to reach the remaining households.
