The overall story of India’s solar power sector is one of extraordinary growth. India has grown its solar power capacity from 2.5 GW in 2014 to almost 36 GW today. Of this, over 30 GW capacity is generated by ground-mounted solar power plants, such as the Bhadla Solar Park in Rajasthan and the Pavagada Solar Park in Karnataka — both developed by the Government of India under the National Solar Mission — among others.
