Storyline
India and Egypt rapidly expand solar capacity in 2025-2026
India set a new quarterly record by installing 14.4 GW of solar PV in Q1 2026, nearly doubling its additions from the same period in 2025. Egypt installed 800 MW of solar capacity in 2025 and is projected to accelerate growth, with cumulative capacity expected to reach over 34 GW by 2035.

Why now
- India’s Q1 2026 solar additions nearly doubled year-on-year, signaling accelerating deployment.
- Egypt’s 2025 solar capacity growth sets the stage for multi-gigawatt annual additions in the coming decade.
- Both countries’ solar expansion aligns with global climate and energy policy goals for 2030 and beyond.
Why it matters
- Rapid solar capacity growth supports energy transition and reduces fossil fuel dependence.
- Expanding renewables enhances energy security and sustainability in emerging markets.
- Large-scale solar additions influence regional energy markets and infrastructure planning.
