2. 100 GW by 2022
• India’s solar potential estimated at 748GW
• JNNSM target increased from 20GW to
100GW
• 60 to 70 GW will be from utility scale power
projects
• 30 to 40 GW will be from Rooftop Solar
plants
• Very low and competitive tariffs for PPA !

3. State Wise Solar Potential in India

4. Solar Pipeline 2015 > 10,000MW

5. Solar Market Transformation in India
• The Tipping Points were
– Appointment of Mr Piyush
Goyal as Minister of State
for Power, Coal, New and
Renewable Energy;
bringing an alignment of
RE with Power Ministry
– Bold and Audacious Target
of 100GW by 2022; NTPC
takes on 25GW Target

6. Positive Macroeconomics beckon
Investors to India
Along with the 100GW Solar Target

13. India’s
Commitments
• Reduce energy
intensity by 35% by
2030
• 40% from
renewables by 2030
• RECs, SPEED, ECBC,
PAT, GreenCo ratings,
Smart Cities
• Afforestation

14. The NY Times on
Climate Change
In 2014, for the first
time since the dawn
of Industrial
Revolution, World
GDP grew without any
increase in GHG
emissions

15. 40% by 2030 – How much will be Solar?
• India projects 800GW capacity by 2030 and
40% would be 320GW of Renewables
• 63GW of Nuclear by 2030 is difficult to
achieve. Hydro is currently 47GW and the
additions aren’t coming so easily.
• If India can do 100GW by 2022, then Solar
can be more than 200GW by 2030.

16. Solar’s growth needs to be part of
India’s Power Sector Reforms
• Financial health of DISCOMs a big concern
• Solar for agricultural pumping. Distributed
Solar/ Rooftop systems. Reduce T&D losses.
• Smart Grids and Smart Metering (AMR)
solutions.
• Innovation to drive the industry in India. Solar
Charging for Electric Vehicles

17. Investment Opportunities in Solar
Opportunities in Rooftop Solar, Solar Pumping, O&M,
Solar for Electric Vehicles etc

18. How can we help?
