India's major grid solar power projects is blessed with about an estimated 5000 TWh of solar radiation. We look at the State/Union-Territory-wise list of grid solar power projects commissioned so far in the country. (Source: Press Information Bureau, Government of India)
India's National Solar Mission has targeted to deploy 20 million solar lighting systems for rural areas by 2022. The country is blessed with about an estimated 5000 TWh of solar radiation. This vast resource can be tapped to meet the growing energy demand. Even if a tenth of this potential is utilised, it could solve the country’s power problems.

Solar energy has particular relevance in remote and rural areas, where around 289 million people live without access to electricity. Solar energy is the most cost-effective option for India to reduce energy poverty without having to extend national grid services to provide power for individual homes and buildings.
