India rooftop solar scheme reaches 5.46 million homes and 16.18 GW

JMK Research data cited by Financial Express shows August residential rooftop solar additions of 1,407.32 MW, down 11.6% from July, with Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh following Uttar Pradesh in state rankings. The national programme carries a Rs 75,021 crore outlay, aims to reach 10 million households by FY27, and had already transferred around Rs 28,024 crore in subsidies by mid-August. The scale of deployment matters for distributors, installers, and inverter suppliers because India is moving rooftop PV from a niche segment into a mass-policy platform.
