India identifies 102 GWp floating solar potential as new policy push emerges

SolarNews Brief

India has identified more than 102 GWp of deployable floating solar potential across reservoirs and other waterbodies. The number is strategically important because floating PV could ease land constraints while opening a new utility-scale growth channel for the country's solar market.
