India’s solar procurement market was very active in Q1 2026, with government agencies issuing nearly 6 GW of solar tenders, almost double the capacity in Q4 2025. TenderDekho reports that there are over 26 active solar power tenders in India as of May 2026. These tenders encompass utility-scale ground-mounted projects, rooftop government installations, and hybrid solar-plus-storage projects.

Tender and Generation Growth

The Q1 2026 tender surge reflects strong policy and procurement momentum within the sector. According to Mercom India, India’s solar generation increased by 24.3% year over year to 52 billion units (BU) during the same period, which aligns with broader market expansion.

Budget and Policy Framework

In conjunction with this increase in tenders, the central budget allocation for the solar sector grew from ₹242.24 billion in 2025 to ₹305.39 billion in 2026. A key focus of this budget remains the PM Surya Ghar initiative, which is expected to drive further investment in solar infrastructure.

Conclusion

These developments indicate a robust trajectory for India’s solar energy sector in 2026, backed by both governmental support and substantial market activity.
