Gujarat stands as a leader in India’s solar revolution, backed by a robust solar policy that encourages residential, commercial, and industrial adoption of solar power.
Comprehensive guide to solar policies, subsidies and financing options
(Solar policy for Gujarat commercial: Net metering is a billing system that allows rooftop owners having solar systems installed to sell any excess electricity generated to the local electricity utility)

Gujarat is located on the Western coast of India and is called the “Jewel of Western India”. Purely in terms of the geographical area, it is the 6th largest state in the country. With a proposed target of 8020 MW, Gujarat is set to become the fourth largest state in India when it comes to the installed rooftop solar capacity by 2022. This would put Gujarat, behind states likes Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu for grid-connected rooftop power. Currently, Gujarat alone accounts for 2.6 GW of commissioned solar power in India with about 570 MW being added in the FY 2018/19. It is one of the fastest-growing states when it comes to solar deployment—both for rooftop as well as large-scale solar projects. Very recently, the airport of Ahmedabad Airport also commissioned a 700kWp rooftop solar plant outlining the push from the state government towards installing solar. There have been successful subsidy-led programs, awareness drives as well as strong policies that have been formulated to ensure the rapid progression of rooftop solar in the state. Gujarat is also home to Charanka Solar Park that is being constructed on a 2,000 hectare land in Northern Gujarat, encompassing 19 different solar projects. The solar park is expected to host at least 790 MW solar power systems when it is fully completed and commissioned.
