Nearly 300 million people from the rural parts of the country still survive on archaic sources of energy such as kerosene, diesel, or chulhas lit using wood or likewise. Solar power is an opportunity to bridge this gap while improving the social, economic as well as health situation of numerous citizens residing in the rural parts of the country. While solar power adoption has been taking place for quite some time now, its usually high costs have necessitated it to be driven by philanthropic capital or government subsidy, thus limiting its scope of adoption among people. However, with the declining capital cost over the past year, solar power use has now become commercially mainstream, thus attracting private capital as well as entrepreneurs.India's transition with respect to renewable energy adoption has so far been a success story. The country has emerged as the third largest solar market in the world after China and the US, and Maharashtra (618 Mw), Rajasthan (393 Mw), Tamil Nadu (365 Mw), Gujarat (314 Mw) and Karnataka (298 Mw) are amongst the top solar power generating states. With the rising number of players across the market, the Indian solar EPC market is feeling the heat of competition.
