India added nearly 119 GW of solar modules and over 9 GW of solar cell capacity in 2025, according to Mercom India’s State of Solar PV Manufacturing in India 2026 report. The manufacturing expansion was driven by demand from India’s large utility-scale solar project pipeline, residential rooftop targets, the PM Surya Ghar program, and the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers List-II domestic cell mandate. India added nearly 547 MWh of battery energy storage capacity in 2025, around 26% year-over-year (YoY) increase from over 433 MWh, according to the newly released 2H & Annual 2025 India’s Energy Storage Landscape Report by Mercom India Research. India’s cumulative installed battery energy storage capacity reached almost 1,082 MWh as of December 2025.
