India adds 26 GW of solar in the first half of 2026

SolarNews Brief

India installed about 26 GW of solar and 2.9 GW of wind in the first half of 2026, according to JMK Research and Analytics figures reported by Renewables Now. The scale of solar additions is a market-level signal that India remains one of the world's most important growth engines for modules, inverters, EPC and storage-linked projects.

The first-half figures show close to 29 GW of combined solar and wind additions, with solar accounting for the overwhelming majority. Rapid solar deployment matters because it affects module demand, domestic manufacturing utilization, land and transmission planning, and the timing of storage procurement. For professional solar audiences, the number is a useful benchmark for comparing India's execution pace with announced targets and tender pipelines.
