The Hindu reports that India added 474 TWh of solar energy in 2024. Awesome. But this is the proverbial drop in a bucket. India's energy consumption has been growing at 7% annually over the last years. The latest numbers aren't in below graph yet, but assuming another 7%, that's a rise of 750 TWh.

Solar therefore *added* to this insatiable energy need. It didn't *replace* anything in terms of fossil fuels. Even the recent news where India is aiming for 100 GWe of new nuclear by 2047 is really just adding a single year's worth of energy addition.

India is a MASSIVE task.
