India Climbs to #3 Globally in Solar Energy Production, Surpassing Japan


India’s solar journey just hit a blazing milestone.
In a major win for renewable energy and climate sustainability, India has overtaken Japan to become the world’s third-largest solar energy producer, according to the latest global energy report.

The top three global leaders in solar energy production now stand as:

  1. China
  2. United States
  3. India

India’s climb in the global solar ranks reflects more than just numbers — it’s proof of a nationwide shift toward sustainability, energy security, and innovation.

From mega solar parks in Rajasthan and Gujarat to rooftop solar adoption in urban areas, India’s capacity growth has been exponential over the past decade. Government initiatives like the National Solar Mission, subsidies for solar installations, and public-private collaborations have fueled this momentum.

How India Did It

  • Installed capacity: Over 75 GW of solar energy, with more projects in the pipeline.
  • Policy strength: India aims for 280 GW of solar energy by 2030 under its clean energy targets.
  • International role: As a co-founder of the International Solar Alliance (ISA), India plays a leading role in global solar diplomacy.

🔋 Beyond Numbers

India’s solar boom isn’t just a statistic — it means:

  • Lower carbon emissions
  • Affordable electricity access
  • Job creation in green sectors
  • Increased energy independence

🚀 What’s Next?

The government has set ambitious goals — including 50% of energy from renewables by 2030 and achieving net zero by 2070.

India is also focusing on integrating solar into agriculture, railways, and smart cities, making sustainability a multi-sector mission.

As the sun rises higher, so does India’s position as a clean energy leader. ☀️

VinFast’s Tamil Nadu Plant to Start Production by July-End, Boosting India’s EV Ambitions


CHENNAI | July 2025 – Global EV major VinFast is ready to make a splash in India’s fast-growing electric vehicle market with the announcement that its $2 billion (₹16,000 crore) factory in Tamil Nadu will begin production by the end of this month.

This marks VinFast’s first major production base in India, and one of the largest foreign direct investments in Tamil Nadu’s automotive sector. The state government had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with VinFast earlier this year, offering incentives to support clean mobility infrastructure and employment generation.

🔧 What Will Be Produced?

The plant is expected to initially focus on:

  • Electric SUVs for Indian and global markets
  • Battery assembly units
  • Future R&D and vehicle testing

VinFast’s India operations are part of its global strategy to expand beyond Southeast Asia and the U.S., tapping into India’s massive EV potential and a growing population of eco-conscious buyers.

📈 What This Means for India:

  • Employment Boost: The facility is projected to generate thousands of direct and indirect jobs in Tamil Nadu.
  • Technology Transfer: With VinFast’s advanced EV tech and production capabilities, India’s local EV ecosystem is expected to get a serious upgrade.
  • Green Goals: Aligns with India’s commitment to shift 30% of vehicle sales to electric by 2030.

🚀 The Road Ahead

VinFast is not just here to manufacture—it also plans to launch showrooms, service centers, and charging stations in key Indian cities in the coming months. This could turn the tide in favor of affordable, high-quality electric vehicles for Indian consumers.

With Tesla also showing renewed interest in the Indian market, 2025 might just be the most exciting year yet for India’s EV revolution.
