The National Solar Mission is an initiative of the Government of India and State Governments to promote solar power. The mission is one of the several policies of the National Action Plan on Climate Change.[1] The program was inaugurated as the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission[2] by former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on 11 January 2010[3] with a target of 20 GW by 2022. This was later increased to 100 GW by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the 2015 Union budget of India.[4] India increased its utility solar power generation capacity by nearly 5 times from 2,650 MW on 26 May 2014[5] to 12,288.83 MW on 31 March 2017. The country added 9,362.65 MW in 2017–18, the highest of any year.[6] The original target of 20 GW was surpassed in 2018 (counting only utility installed capacity), four years ahead of the 2022 deadline.
India had a total rooftop solar installed capacity of 6.1 GW as of 30 June 2021.[7]
