Installed solar power capacity

Modi ahead

No comparable cross-country series exists for this measure, so no synthetic counterfactual can be estimated. The verdict here compares observed Indian figures over time — a weaker basis than the estimated indicators.

What this measures

Installed solar power capacity, in GW. A rising number is an improvement. Reported by Ministry of New & Renewable Energy.

It stood at 2.82 in 2014, and under Modi’s current India reached 165 by 2026 — a rise of 5733%. That is an improvement against India’s pre-2014 figure.

No comparison country reports an equivalent series, so there is no Rahul's India to compare against. This is a before-and-after reading, not a treatment effect.

Why no counterfactual

Solar capacity is near zero across the donor pool before 2013, leaving no pre-treatment variation to fit a counterfactual against.

The counterfactual is 'India without the 2014 structural break', estimated from comparator countries. It is not a forecast of any individual's policies.
