India is one of the largest markets in the world for innovative energy. It has the fifth largest generation capacity in the world with an installed capacity of 152 GW as of 2009, which is about 4 percent of global power generation. In the solar area for example, with more than 300 days of sunshine annually and a large customer base, India offers a great potential for off-grid PV deployments such as rural lighting and electrification, powering irrigation pump sets, back-up power generation for cellular towers, captive power generation, urban applications and highway lighting. McKinsey estimates that India will require $1.2 Trillion investments in infrastructure to handle its trend toward urbanization
