• Targets reaffirmed include 500 GW of non‑fossil capacity by 2030 with around 300 GW from solar, plus a longer‑term aim of 1,800 GW by 2047, with 162 GW reported in the pipeline.
• Officials reported about 100 GW of domestic solar module capacity and 27 GW of cell capacity, noting limited exposure to U.S. tariff talks due to strong domestic demand.
• The International Solar Alliance’s Eighth Assembly will run October 27–30 in New Delhi with 124 member countries, pursuing efforts to unlock up to $1 trillion in solar investment by 2030.
