The Indian state of Rajasthan has plans to reach 50 GW of total solar installed capacity within the next 6 years, with an intermediary target of 25 GW by 2021-2022. The new target is part of a proposed policy package to establish the state as a solar hub and includes proposals to develop decentralized, grid-connected solar projects between 500 kW and 3 MW. The smaller project would be selected through tariff-based competitive tender. Furthermore, 500 MW solar power plants would be developed by private investors and the state's government (with a 50% equity in the joint ventures formed).
India has the most ambitious renewable capacity target in the world: 227 GW to be installed by 2022 (excl. large hydro). In total, 40 GW of rooftop projects, 40 GW of utility-scale solar plants, and 20 GW of ultra-mega solar parks are expected. In its 15-year Vision Plan to FY2031-32, India targets 275 GW of renewables (excluding large hydro) by 2027.
