Chandigarh’s solar boom: Renewable energy capacity grows 18-fold in a decade

From The Times of India

“Chandigarh: Over the past decade, the city’s installed renewable energy capacity has seen a nearly 18-fold increase, rising from 5 MW in 2014–15 to 90 MW by July 2025. However, this growth is largely due to government push rather than significant public participation.

Between March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2025, the number of government buildings with solar plants installed increased from 907 to 6,627, an addition of 25 MW in one year. At the same time, the number of private buildings with solar power plants on March 31, 2024, was 3,794. After a year, it marginally increased to 4,361, implying an addition of only 2.8 MW.”
