Energy consultancy Ember has reported that India's solar energy production surged by 5.9 percent in 2023, surpassing Japan's growth. This development is noteworthy given that Japan is the world’s fourth-largest economy, while India ranks fifth. India, the fastest-growing economy last year with a growth rate of 7.8 percent, is projected to become the world’s third-largest economy by 2030, trailing only the US and China.
