Sh. Vijay Dev, IAS further exhorted that “Government of India has embarked upon a new journey of achieving 175 GW of Renewable Power capacity by 2022, out of which 100 GW is to be achieved through Solar Energy sector only.  Out of this, 100 GW Solar Power, 40 GW is to be achieved through Rooftop Solar Power Plant installations and 20 GW is expected to come from installations made in Solar Parks. To start this, the Government of India has already approved 34 Solar Parks across 22 different Indian States with combined capacity of 20 GW.
No doubt the target is ambitious and requires huge investment in the solar sector to the tune of around 60 Billion US $, and hence provide an ample opportunity to all investors to join this emerging solar sector for their future growth”.
