India targets 100 GW installed capacity of solar energy by 2022edit

Outlook India 

India has a target of 100 gigawatt (GW) installed capacity of solar energy by 2022, of which 40 GW is projected to come from rooftop solar systems, an energy expert said on Thursday. Former Senior Scientific Advisor in the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy Dr Bivek Bandyopadhyay said the World Bank and Global Environment Fund (GEF) had launched a large financing program in 2016 to support clean energy.

Big success! India has done remarkably in solar power capacity addition. Here’s how to take it to the next leveledit

The Financial Express 

When the National Solar Mission was launched in 2010, the target of 20,000MW of solar power by 2022 appeared too ambitious, as the country had only 160MW of solar power then. India announced its commitment to achieve 40% of its total generating capacity from renewables by 2030 for the Paris accord. Then, in 2015, the even more ambitious target of 100,000MW of solar power by 2022 was announced. These did not appear at all feasible.
