India Advances Rooftop Solar Installations Under PM Surya Ghar Scheme with FY27 Targets

India's rooftop solar adoption is growing under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, which aims to install one crore systems by 2026-27. As of early 2026, 2.5 million homes are solarised, below the initial target of 10 million. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy reported 14.62 lakh installations in FY26 against a 35 lakh target, with plans to install 39 lakh systems (11,700 MW) in FY27. Challenges include an unorganised installer market and energy security concerns amid geopolitical tensions.
