In May 2024 this year, notwithstanding the technical glitches in the PM Surya Ghar portal, India added 450 MW of new rooftop solar capacities. This data was revealed from the latest renewable capacity data of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).  As per the latest data from the MNRE, India’s total rooftop solar capacity touched 12,463 MW by the end of May 2024. This is against the total rooftop solar capacity of 12,013 MW in April. The new capacity additions come at a time when the Indian government has launched its ambitious target of adding rooftop solar in one crore households. During May 2024, India also added 2463.82 MW of new solar capacities. Thus rooftop solar segment accounted for 18% of the total new solar capacities added by India in May 2024.
