Such initiatives of Government of India bring a very positive impact on lives of common man in remote islands. Great initiative.

More than 50 % by installation! Who thought this would be like this in 2015 when we had REINVEST -1?

Decentralised solar is positioned as a commercially viable, large-scale energy initiative, not merely a rural welfare scheme. With an 18 GW programme underway in Madhya Pradesh, one of the largest globally, the approach integrates solar with storage and grid infrastructure.

Bhutan has installed solar-powered cold storage units in Paro and Zhemgang, each with a 5MT capacity, with support from the International Solar Alliance. These facilities are helping farmers reduce post-harvest losses, extend the shelf life of their produce, and secure better market prices, thereby strengthening rural incomes while reinforcing Bhutan’s carbon-negative vision, a defining element of the nation’s environmental commitment.

Due to visionary leadership of Hon Prime Minister of India, 123 member countries joined International Solar Alliance

Hon Minister, you are an inspiration to ISA.

At SAFDE 2025, organized by @GOGLAssociation with support from @GoodEnergies and @IKEAFoundation, ISA Director General Mr. @Ashish_Khanna highlighted the need to triple private sector investments 💰 in #DRE to unlock India’s $53 billion market and create 35 million green jobs 💼 by 2047. He emphasized the importance of engaging communities 👨‍👨‍👧‍👦 to develop localized, impactful solutions, stating: ''We need to enable private sector investments in driving technology and innovation for DRE, while the government focuses on developing the policy and regulatory framework, and results-based financing to make these solutions affordable for the poor.'' The event, held in New Delhi, brought together leaders from across South Asia 🌏. Speakers like Sarah Malm (GOGLA), Harish Hande (SELCO), and Ronald Mekata (Energy Authority of Papua New Guinea) discussed how #CleanEnergy, #Renewables, and decentralized solutions are transforming economies and enhancing climate resilience 🌐💪 The sale of over 768,000 off-grid solar products in South Asia in 2023 demonstrates the growing momentum of these efforts. #Sustainability #ClimateAction #ISA #SOLAR #investing #SAFDE
