October 25, 2025 / Solar Panel India’s Solar Growth Story: Driving Clean Energy Adoption
India’s solar journey is one of ambition, innovation, and transformation. Over the past decade, the country has turned its vast amount of sunlight into a powerful source of progress illuminating homes, fueling industries, empowering commercial units, rural areas, and driving the shift toward clean, renewable energy. With over 300 sunny days a year, India has naturally become a global hotspot for solar power development, from massive solar parks in Rajasthan and Gujarat to rooftop panels in bustling cities, the nation is replacing conventional energy sources with sustainable ones.
Companies are innovating not just in generation but also in storage and enabling consumers to go off‑grid or reduce dependence on the grid. Eastman Auto & Power is emerging as a key enabler, combining manufacturing strength, integrated solutions, and ambitious capacity expansion to ride India’s solar wave and accelerate adoption in all sectors. With the aim of shaping a future that’s not just brighter, but cleaner and self-reliant.
Government Initiatives Driving India’s Solar Revolution
India’s solar success didn’t happen overnight it’s been powered by strong government vision and well-planned policies. The National Solar Mission, launched in 2010 under the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC), was the turning point that placed solar energy at the center of India’s renewable agenda. Since then, a series of ambitious initiatives have accelerated the country’s solar growth.
Government Programs like PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana empower residential households to generate their own electricity with a subsidy varying from 40-60% for different setups. PM-KUSUM yojna enables farmers to generate their own electricity through solar pumps and even sell surplus power back to the grid. The Production Linked Incentive Scheme is boosting domestic manufacturing of solar panels, reducing dependence on imports, and promoting “Make in India” innovation. Together, these initiatives shape a future which has accelerated this growth, making solar energy more affordable and accessible to millions.
