India added 50.6GW of solar module and 9.7GW of solar cell manufacturing capacity in the first half of 2026, expanding cumulative module capacity to 261.7GW and cell capacity to 36.6GW. Gujarat leads module and cell manufacturing, while the US remains the largest export market despite new US anti-dumping duties on Indian solar cells.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

India’s rapid increase in solar manufacturing creates a supply glut that may push prices down but US anti-dumping duties threaten export growth. You in solar supply chains need to rethink market focus beyond the US and prepare for pricing pressure at home.
