India Plans $89 Billion Solar Manufacturing Expansion, 32 Lakh Jobs by 2047
India aims to become a global solar manufacturing leader by 2047, with the Indian Solar Manufacturers Association projecting 32.3 lakh jobs and $89 billion in investments. The Vision 2047 report outlines expanding domestic production across the solar value chain, potentially increasing installed capacity to 2,275 GW. Agricultural solarisation could add 116 GW demand, supporting clean energy and domestic manufacturing growth. Employment in solar manufacturing is expected to rise significantly, especially in upstream segments like cells and polysilicon, reducing import dependence and boosting exports.
