Tata Power Company Ltd started FY26 on a strong thrust on rooftop solar uptake, with 45,500 fresh rooftop connections during the first quarter. The achievement puts it in a leadership position in India's decentralized solar space and aids the government's thrust to residential solar under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana.

Key Highlights:

- Q1 Surge: Tata Power Solar installed 45,500 residential, commercial, and industrial rooftop installations, massively increasing its cumulative base of more than 1.5 lakh installations across the country.

- Capacity Expansion: These Q1 installations are part of the company's broader rooftop portfolio that now stands at 3 GW+ across 700+ cities and positions it as India's largest rooftop solar provider.

- Financial & Digital Edge: Tata Power's platform "Solaroof" and partnerships with 20+ financial institutions have enabled faster adoption through easy finance, doorstep delivery, and warranty-backed modules for 25 years.

- Campaign Reach: The "Aapki Roof, Aapki Takat" campaign launched on Makar Sankranti 2025 is still trending, especially in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities.

- Backbone of Manufacturing: The installations are powered by ALMM-certified solar panels manufactured at Tata Power's Tamil Nadu facility to ensure quality and supply chain strength.

- Strategic Perspective: As rooftop solar becomes one of the key pillars of India's clean energy policy, Tata Power is set to double its installations by FY27, both on urban rooftops and rural electrification.

Tata Power's Q1 rooftop success heralds a solar revolution from the ground up—one rooftop at a time.
