India adds 4.9 GW rooftop solar capacity under PM Surya Ghar scheme; only 13% of target met

India's Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Yojana has added 4.9 GW of residential rooftop solar capacity, with over 57.9 lakh applications submitted. However, only 13.1% of the 1 crore installation target is met, and just 14.1% of subsidies released, posing challenges to the FY2027 goal. Low consumer awareness, finance access, and fragmented supply chains are identified as key barriers.
