India's commitment to renewable energy has led to significant advancements in solar power installations. In the fiscal year 2024-25, several groundbreaking projects have been initiated, showcasing the country's dedication to sustainable energy solutions. This article highlights the top 10 solar installations in India during this period, emphasizing their capacities, technological innovations, and contributions to the nation's energy landscape.
1. Khavda Solar Park – Gujarat
The Khavda Solar Park in Gujarat is poised to become the world's largest renewable energy park, with an anticipated capacity of 30 gigawatts (GW) upon full completion. Spearheaded by Adani Green Energy, this monumental project commenced installation in 2022, with the first phase expected to be commissioned by late 2024. Currently, the park generates approximately 600 megawatts (MW) per month from its initial operational phase, significantly bolstering India's solar energy production.
2. Bhadla Solar Park – Rajasthan
Operating at a capacity of 2.25 GW, Rajasthan's Bhadla Solar Park continues to be a cornerstone in India's solar infrastructure. Commissioned in 2019, this expansive park benefits from the region's high solar irradiance, producing an estimated 1.8 GW per month. Its vast array of solar panels contributes substantially to the grid, supplying clean energy to numerous households and industries.
3. Pavagada Solar Park – Karnataka
Spanning over 13,000 acres, Karnataka's Pavagada Solar Park boasts a capacity of 2.05 GW, making it one of the largest solar farms in the country. The innovative solar leasing model has empowered local farmers by allowing them to lease their land for solar panel installations, promoting both economic and sustainable benefits. Fully commissioned in 2019, the park currently produces around 1.6 GW per month.
4. Dholera Solar Park – Gujarat
The Dholera Solar Park is an ambitious project aiming for a 5 GW capacity upon completion. Construction began in 2023, with phased commissioning expected to start in 2025. Once operational, the initial phase is projected to deliver 500 MW per month. This project underscores India's commitment to expanding its photovoltaic infrastructure and integrating advanced solar inverters and battery storage systems to enhance efficiency and reliability.
5. Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Park – Madhya Pradesh
The 750 MW Rewa Solar Park, commissioned in 2018, gained international recognition for offering some of the lowest solar tariffs in India. It supplies clean energy to the Delhi Metro and various industries, serving as a model for future solar projects. The park consistently generates around 600 MW per month, demonstrating the viability of large-scale solar installations.
6. Nokh Solar Park – Rajasthan
With an expected capacity of 735 MW, the Nokh Solar Park is a recent addition to Rajasthan's renewable energy portfolio. Featuring bifacial solar panels and smart tracking systems, this project aims to optimize energy capture and efficiency. Commissioning is anticipated in mid-2025, with an initial output of 300 MW per month, contributing to the region's growing solar capacity.
7. Omkareshwar Floating Solar Project – Madhya Pradesh
Embracing innovative technology, the Omkareshwar Floating Solar Project is set to harness 600 MW of power by utilizing the surface of the Omkareshwar reservoir. This approach minimizes land use and reduces water evaporation. Construction began in 2022, with Union Minister Pralhad Joshi visiting the park in January 2025 and commissioning 278 MW. The initial phase is projected to produce 278 MW per month, showcasing the potential of floating solar installations.
8. Bhakra Nangal Floating Solar Park – Himachal Pradesh
Himachal Pradesh is set to host the world's largest floating solar park on the Bhakra Nangal Dam, with an expected output of 600 MW. This project combines hydropower and solar energy to create a sustainable hybrid system. Installation began in early 2024, with commissioning planned for mid-2025.
9. Ananthapuramu – II Solar Park – Andhra Pradesh
Andhra Pradesh's Ananthapuramu – II Solar Park is a significant contributor to the state's energy security, boasting a capacity of 1,500 MW. Commissioned in late 2023, the park currently produces around 1.2 GW per month. The integration of advanced solar inverters and battery storage solutions ensures a stable and reliable power supply, reinforcing the state's commitment to renewable energy.
10. Sagardighi Floating Solar Power Plant – West Bengal
The Sagar Floating Solar Power Plant is an ambitious project being developed on the vast water bodies of Sundarbans' Sagar Island in West Bengal. With a planned capacity of 5 MW, this project is a landmark initiative that aligns renewable energy development with environmental preservation in a delicate coastal ecosystem.
In 2025, West Bengal's Sagardighi Thermal Power Plant (TPP) is developing multiple solar projects, including a 10 MW grid-connected ground-mounted solar plant and a 5 MW grid-connected floating solar project, along with two 10 MW floating solar projects under construction.
These top 10 solar installations exemplify India's rapid progress in adopting and implementing solar energy solutions. The integration of advanced technologies, such as bifacial solar panels, floating solar systems, and efficient solar inverters, underscores the nation's commitment to sustainable development. As these projects come to fruition, they not only contribute to India's energy security but also serve as benchmarks for global renewable energy initiatives.
