New Delhi, Aug. 19 -- Solar energy has emerged as a central pillar of India's clean energy strategy. With the target of 500 GW of non-fossil electricity capacity by 2030, solar energy is expected to play a leading role.

Land acquisition, however, remains a critical concern and barrier. India's dense population and competing demands for agriculture, housing, infrastructure, and industry make large-scale land acquisition for solar parks increasingly difficult.

Without innovative solutions, land scarcity could significantly hinder the pace of solar deployment. New and Innovative Solar Applications (NISA) can address these land-related constraints, enabling India to meet its renewable energy goals sustainably and efficiently.
