Market leaders saw significant growth across majority of the categories
In first half of year 2021, India installed approximately 4.6 GW of solar projects, a 251% increase compared to the same period of 2020, and during that period Adani, Tata Power Solar and Mahindra Susten were the market leaders as utility-scale solar project developer. In CY 2021, India saw a record 10 GW of new solar capacity installed, a big jump of 210% compared to the year before. The newly installed solar capacity in 2021 reached a record high, making up 62% of the total power capacity additions in 2021.
Mercom Communications India, a subsidiary of global clean energy communications and consulting firm Mercom Capital Group, has released its yearly report on the solar sector competitive landscape - India Solar Market Leaderboard 2022. The report covers market share and shipment rankings across the Indian solar supply chain for the calendar year (CY) 2021.
The solar market leaders list remained relatively consistent in CY 2021, with four new companies on the list. However, with domestic manufacturing receiving a strong push, new leaders are expected to emerge in 2022.
