Gujarat Solar Policy and it's Solar Highlights

Gujarat, located on the western coast of India and known as the “Jewel of Western India,” is a major force in the country’s solar revolution, driven by Gujarat’s solar policy. With a proposed target of 8020 MW, the state is set to become one of the leading regions for rooftop solar capacity in India. Currently contributing around 2.6 GW of commissioned solar power, Gujarat continues to grow rapidly under Gujarat’s solar policy, supported by strong subsidy programs, awareness initiatives, and favorable regulations.

The state has also seen significant developments such as the Ahmedabad airport’s 700 kWp rooftop solar installation, reflecting the government’s push toward clean energy adoption. In addition, Gujarat is home to the large-scale Charanka Solar Park, spread across 2,000 hectares and expected to host around 790 MW capacity when fully operational.

With continuous advancements, increasing installations, and strong government support, Gujarat’s solar policy is playing a crucial role in accelerating renewable energy adoption. These efforts are positioning the state as a leader in sustainable power generation, making Gujarat a benchmark for solar growth across India.
