India’s massive growth led to high air pollution and rising electricity costs due to a heavy reliance on coal. The country needed a way to power millions of homes without damaging the environment or the economy. India added a record 45 GW of solar power in 2025-26, officially crossing the 150 GW total capacity milestone. This makes India a global leader in green energy. Families now have cheaper, cleaner power. This move creates thousands of local jobs and significantly reduces smog, making the air safer for everyone to breathe.
