India Generates 16,811 MU Solar Power in March 2025: Contributing 70% to Renewables
India’s solar energy sector continues to shine as a beacon of sustainability and self-reliance. In March 2025, the country generated a remarkable 16,811 million units (MU) of electricity through solar power, contributing nearly 70% to the total renewable energy output for the month. This achievement underscores India’s accelerating shift toward clean energy and highlights the growing role of solar in powering its future.
According to the latest data released by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), India’s total renewable energy generation in March reached 24,180 MU, with solar taking the lead. The remaining generation came from wind (21%), followed by biomass, small hydro, and other green sources.
Month-on-Month Growth Reflects Solar Momentum
The March 2025 figures indicate a significant 10.3% increase over February’s solar generation, which stood at 15,230 MU. Experts attribute this growth to longer daylight hours, favorable climatic conditions, and the commissioning of new solar plants across multiple states.
This upward trajectory highlights the success of India’s aggressive solar expansion strategies and growing investor confidence in the sector.
State-Wise Contributions: Rajasthan Leads the Pack
India’s solar growth continues to be driven by a handful of high-performing states that boast favorable solar potential and a strong manufacturing ecosystem. The top contributors in March 2025 included:
- Rajasthan: Maintaining its leadership position, the state generated over 4,000 MU of solar power. Known for its desert terrain and high solar irradiance, Rajasthan is also home to a robust ecosystem of solar parks and top-tier solar panel manufacturers in Jaipur.
- Gujarat: A close second with around 3,200 MU, Gujarat continues to expand its solar footprint through large-scale grid-connected projects and rooftop installations.
- Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana also contributed significant output, reflecting the pan-India momentum for solar adoption.
These states have benefitted from strong policy support, robust infrastructure, and the presence of established solar manufacturing companies and EPC providers.
Renewable Mix: Solar Dominates Clean Energy
In March, solar energy accounted for 69.5% of India’s renewable energy output. This is a clear testament to the government’s focus on solar capacity addition and improved grid integration. The remaining renewable mix was distributed among wind (21%), biomass, and small hydro projects.
With India now operating over 80 GW of installed solar capacity, this segment continues to be the most reliable and scalable path toward meeting the country’s 2030 renewable energy goals.
Industry Insights & Market Sentiment
Industry leaders remain bullish on the solar market’s outlook. A senior official from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) commented,
“The consistent rise in solar generation reflects the strength of India’s renewable energy roadmap. It’s also encouraging to see local players, including solar panel manufacturers in Jaipur, stepping up to meet the growing demand with high-quality, indigenously manufactured products.”
This surge is also supported by the PLI (Production Linked Incentive) schemes, solar park development, and government push for domestic module manufacturing, reducing reliance on imports.
Looking Ahead: Bright Prospects for Q2 2025
With the summer season underway, solar irradiance is set to rise, promising even higher generation figures in April and May. Additionally, developments in energy storage systems, solar-wind hybrid projects, and green hydrogen initiatives will help strengthen India’s renewable backbone and improve grid stability.
