India’s Solar Demand Set For 22% Annual Growth Through 2035<\/span><\/p>\n

India\u2019s solar capacity is set to surge by 22% each year by 2035 as the data center boom will drive increased power consumption, a new report by Nuvama showed on Monday. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The consultancy estimates that India\u2019s total power demand will rise by 6% every year over the next decade, \u201cdriven by economic growth, rising urbanisation, manufacturing expansion and increasing electrification across sectors,\u201d according to the report cited by Indian news outlet ANI<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Solar growth will vastly outpace overall power demand as power-intensive data centers will drive 22% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in solar energy capacity from 2026 to 2035, the report found.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur base case suggests green hydrogen and data centre capacity shall add another 251GW solar capacity, while it is 406GW capacity in the bull case scenario<\/strong>,\u201d Nuvama analysts said in the report.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven solar capacity expansion in our base case, the share of solar shall rise from 28% in FY26 to 61% by FY35 and to 65% in the bull case,\u201d<\/strong> they added.<\/p>\n

India expects to nearly\u00a0quadruple its solar power<\/a>\u00a0capacity and triple wind power-generating assets within ten years, according to the new Generation Adequacy Plan published by the country\u2019s Central Electricity Authority earlier this year.<\/p>\n

India projects to have a total of 509 gigawatts (GW) of solar power capacity installed by the end of the 2035-2036 fiscal year, up from 140 GW installed solar PV capacity as of January 2026.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe installed generation capacity projection in 2035-36 shows that the country is moving toward a strong transition to non-fossil energy. Renewable sources, especially solar PV, hydro, and wind, will dominate future capacity, supported by Energy Storage Systems,\u201d according to the policy.<\/p>\n

In 2025, India\u00a0boasted<\/a> that it was five years ahead of schedule when it achieved its target of having 50% of its installed electricity capacity coming from non-fossil fuel sources.<\/p>\n

However, India’s electricity grid is expanding at a slower pace than the boom in renewable energy installations, leading to an increased share of clean energy curtailments<\/a>\u00a0and threatening to slow the solar and wind boom in the world\u2019s most populous country. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
