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 (ALMM) List-II domestic cell mandate.
