In the first nine months of the calendar year 2022, India generated approximately 70.24 billion units (BU) of solar power, a 36% increase over the previous year's figure of 51.67 BU.

Solar generation has been increasing since 2018, when it reached 26.45 BU. The increase in overall solar power generation can be attributed to the addition of new capacity during the first nine months of the year.
