Prime Minister Narendra Modi has shared an article by Union Minister Pralhad Joshi on how India's solar energy journey is opening up new opportunities.
Modi said the article describes the growth of solar power in India, driven by initiatives such as PM Surya Ghar and PM-KUSUM.
Looking ahead
"He also looks at what lies ahead, from solar-powered agriculture and energy storage to manufacturing and green jobs, as India works towards its 500 GW renewable energy target," Modi said in his post on X.
The release gives only the Prime Minister's summary of the article. It carries no figures on current solar capacity or on the number of households or farmers reached by the two schemes.
Context
The Prime Minister's Office issued the note on 2 November, along with a second post sharing a different article on solar power co-written by Joshi and Mike Bloomberg. Both posts describe the articles in general terms, so readers looking for numbers on capacity, costs or savings will need to consult the articles themselves.
