Indian solar installations totaled 2,247 MW in Q3 2017, up 300 MW from Q2 according to the recently released India Solar Market Update by Mercom India Research. However, like in the preceding quarter, many project commissioning dates were delayed with many postponed to next year. Approximately 1 GW of large-scale projects with construction completed have not yet been officially commissioned due to grid connection and evacuation delays caused by government agencies, further contributing to the slower than expected installation figures seen in Q3.
