Q1Match the installed solar-capacity category with its reported figure as of 31 March 2025: List I 1. Ground-mounted installations List II a. 81.01 GW b. 105.65 GW c. 17.02 GW d. 2.87 GW Which code is correct?
Ground-mounted installations formed 81.01 GW of India's 105.65 GW installed solar capacity as of 31 March 2025. The 105.65 GW figure is the wider installed-solar-capacity context named in the same fact, while 17.02 GW and 2.87 GW are not the reported ground-mounted figure, so those figures do not match the asked category.
Q2Match the PM-KUSUM Component-C data points with their correct descriptions. List I 1. Target number 2. Pump category 3. Included mode List II P. Solarisation of 35 lakh pumps Q. Grid-connected agriculture pumps R. Feeder-level solarisation Which matching is correct?
The correct matching is target number with solarisation of 35 lakh pumps, pump category with grid-connected agriculture pumps, and included mode with feeder-level solarisation. Matching the target number to grid-connected pumps, treating feeder-level solarisation as the pump category, or moving the 35 lakh figure away from the target description breaks the cited Component-C fact.
Q3As of 31 March 2025, what was the installed capacity of off-grid solar systems within India's solar capacity?
Off-grid solar systems accounted for 4.74 GW of India's installed solar capacity as of 31 March 2025. The 4.15 GW figure refers to wind capacity addition in FY 2024-25, 3.25 GW refers to wind capacity addition in FY 2023-24, and 0.53 GW refers to the off-grid and waste-to-energy component within bioenergy capacity.
Q4According to Energy Statistics India 2026, what was India's assessed solar energy potential as on 31 March 2025?
Energy Statistics India 2026 assessed solar energy potential at 3,343,378 MW as on 31 March 2025, and this was the largest share of India's renewable potential. The figure 1,163,856 MW belongs to wind power potential, 133,410 MW belongs to large hydro potential, and 229,346 MW is renewable-resource electricity capacity, not solar potential.
Q5In a chronological data note on India's installed solar capacity, which entry correctly records the 31 March 2025 checkpoint for the solar components of hybrid projects?
The correct chronological entry is 31 March 2025 with 2.87 GW in installed solar capacity for solar components of hybrid projects. The 31 March 2024 entry uses the wrong date, the 2.87 MW entry changes the unit, and the FY 2024-25 annual-expansion entry changes the nature of the figure from installed capacity to yearly expansion.
