India is set to install 16.8 GW of new solar capacity in 2023. The new additions will likely include about 14 GW of utility-scale solar projects and 2.8 GW of rooftop solar projects, according to a new report by JMK Research.

In 2022,  India installed 11.4 GW of utility-scale solar capacity and 1.9 GW of rooftop PV, aggregating to 13.3 GW in 2022, said the analysts. As of Dec. 31, 2022, India’s cumulative utility-scale solar capacity stood at about 53.6 GW installed, while another 44.6 GW was in the pipeline.

In 2022, JinkoSolar was the largest module supplier in India. It was followed by Trina Solar and Longi. Domestic players also recorded significant sales increases from April 2022 onwards, following the imposition of a 40% basic customs duty. Waaree, Adani, and Vikram Solar were the leading domestic suppliers in 2022.
