India added 2.8 GW of rooftop solar capacity in the first half (1H) of 2025, according to Mercom India’s newly released Q2 2025 India Rooftop Solar Market Report. The installations grew 158% year-over-year. During the second quarter (Q2) of 2025, 1,618 MW of rooftop solar systems were installed, an almost 33% increase from 1,216.6 MW in Q1 2025, and an over 121% increase from the 731 MW installed in Q2 2024. The installation growth in 1H and Q2 of 2025 was mostly driven by the clearance of delayed registrations under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, the commissioning of new systems, and enhancements to the PM Surya Ghar portal.
