National Solar Energy Federation of India (NSEFI) set a target for 100 GW by 2022. While the capacity additions in 2016-17 were a sizable 5.4 GW, the pace slowed down considerably in 2017-18, with only 1.7 GW of projects commissioned, against a target of 4.1 GW. Most of these installations (~1.2 GW) came online only after December 2017.
The policy thrust to renewables has been significant, and specific targets have been announced to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy.
