Rajasthanhas become the leading state in the country in solar energy production.

This is the result of the Policy 2019 and the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Policy 2019 implemented by the State Government.

Rajasthans solar generation potential has been assessed at 142 GW. The state government plans to systematically harness this potential and has set for itself an ambitious target of 30 GW (30,000 MW) capacity by 2024-25 which will transform the energyscape of the state and the country. Thus the government came out with the new policy in 2019. The desert state is having the most sunny days afterGujarat.

To meet the global commitment, the Union Government has fixed a national target of 175 GW RENEWABLE ENERGY, which includes 100 GW from solar energy by the year 2022. This will reduce dependence on conventional sources of energy by promoting non-conventional energy sources.
