India’s solar sector attracted $17.3 billion in corporate funding from January to September 2025, covering venture capital, public markets, and debt financing, according to Mercom. While this represents a 22% decline from $22.3 billion in the same period last year, Q3 2025 saw a robust recovery with $6.5 billion raised across 49 deals — a 38% year-over-year increase. The period also recorded project acquisitions totaling 29 GW, reflecting sustained investor confidence and consolidation within India’s renewable energy market. Analysts attribute the temporary slowdown to global macroeconomic pressures but remain optimistic about long-term growth, supported by India’s ambitious 500 GW renewable energy target and strong government initiatives promoting solar deployment and domestic manufacturing.
