According to a Q3 2025 market report, India added a remarkable 4.9 GW of rooftop solar capacity during the first nine months of 2025 — more than doubling installations compared to the same period last year. The surge reflects growing consumer interest, declining module prices, and stronger push under solar subsidy and net-metering policies. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
