The Union Budget 2025 placed a significant emphasis on renewable energy, specifically solar power, marking a pivotal moment in India’s clean energy transition. The government announced substantial allocations for solar infrastructure development, manufacturing incentives, and large-scale solar parks, aimed at achieving India’s ambitious renewable energy goals. With a target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, solar energy will play a leading role.
The budget highlights investments in solar PV module production, rooftop solar installations, and rural electrification using solar technology. A major focus was also on incentivizing domestic manufacturing under the "Make in India" initiative to reduce dependency on imports and promote self-sufficiency in solar components. This step is expected to boost employment while ensuring cost-effective solar power production.
