Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C

Explanation

According to official data from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) and the Press Information Bureau (PIB), India's cumulative installed solar capacity reached approximately 132.85 GW by November 2025 and nearly 136 GW by the end of December 2025. This growth was driven by a record annual addition of nearly 38 GW in the calendar year 2025, supported by large-scale utility projects and the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana for rooftop solar.

  • Option A (70 GW): This was the approximate capacity in early 2023.
  • Option B (90 GW): This figure was reached around late 2024.
  • Option D (200 GW): While India's solar manufacturing capacity (modules) crossed 210 GW by the end of 2025, the installed generation capacity was approximately 136 GW.

Thus, 130 GW is the most accurate approximation for India's installed solar capacity during the year 2025.
