Under National Solar Mission, the target for setting up solar capacity increased from 20 GW to 100 GW by 2021-22. Target of 10,500 MW, set for 2016-17 which will take the cumulative capacity to 17 GW till 31st March 2017. As on date, 19,276 MW has been tendered out, of which LOI issued for 13,910 MW/PPA signed for 10,824 MW.

The National Solar Mission aims to promote the development and use of solar energy for power generation and other uses.

Man’s quest for development has encumbered the atmosphere with harmful emissions. After-effects of global warming is known to all - be it melting glaciers, rising of global temperature or low-lying islands.
