The Government of Tamil Nadu has launched the Tamil Nadu Solar Energy Policy 2012 to promote solar energy. It has been envisioned to add about 3000 MW by the year 2015 under the Policy. The Electricity Act, 2003, mandates the State Electricity Regulatory Commissions to promote generation of electricity from renewable sources of energy.

The draft Scheme for development of Solar Parks and Ultra Mega Solar power projects published by Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. MNRE through this scheme plans setting up 25 solar parks, each with a capacity of 500 to 1000 MW; thereby targeting around 20000 MW of solar power installed capacity.

The Government of Haryana has formulated Haryana Solar Power Policy 2014 to promote the generation of power from solar energy.

The development of mini-grids based on renewable energy sources such as solar PV, biogas and small hydro has been a successful venture in India.

The Indian solar industry has been maturing at a rapid clip, growing more than a hundredfold in four years to reach over 2.6 gigawatts (GW) of installed capacity in 2014.

Under Batch-II, Solar PV projects with a total capacity of 1500 MW capacity are proposed to be selected under the scheme of Bundling with Thermal power as in Phase-I, to be implemented through NVVN. The present Guidelines lay down the framework for implementation of this scheme.
