India's Rooftop Solar Rollout Reaches 19,000 Housing Pockets, Aiding 9 Lakh Households

India has completed rooftop solar installations in more than 19,000 housing pockets, a milestone that brings clean power to 900,000 households. The project, part of the government's push to increase renewable energy penetration, has seen solar panels fitted on residential rooftops across the country. The new systems are expected to reduce electricity bills for residents and lower the load on the national grid. Analysts say the rollout aligns with India's target to achieve 175 GW of solar capacity by 2025 and could spur further investment in distributed generation.
