Solar capacity addition in the current financial year is likely to be 15 per cent lower at 5.5 gigawatts (GW), mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic that has impacted the supply chain as well as execution of projects, according to a report by rating agency ICRA.
The solar capacity addition in 2019-20 was also 15 per cent lower at 6.5 GW than its earlier forecast of around 7-7.5 GW.
