India Plans $89 Billion Investment to Expand Solar Manufacturing and Jobs by 2047
India aims to become a global solar manufacturing leader by 2047, with installed solar capacity projected to reach 2,275 GW. The Indian Solar Manufacturers Association's Vision 2047 report forecasts $89 billion in investments and 32.3 lakh jobs generated across the solar value chain, including polysilicon, wafers, cells, and modules. Domestic manufacturing expansion could reduce the solar import bill by over 95% by the 2040s, contingent on sustained policy support and infrastructure development.
