    <fulldesc>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New Delhi, Oct 9 (KNN)&lt;/strong&gt; Minister for Renewable Energy Pralhad Joshi announced on Wednesday that Indias solar power generation capacity has reached 125 GW, positioning the country as the third-largest solar energy producer globally.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Speaking at the curtain-raiser for the 8th session of the International Solar Alliance (ISA) Assembly, the minister emphasised the role of solar energy in meeting global climate goals. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;As per COP28 outcomes, we must triple the world's renewable energy to 11,000 GW by 2030, and solar power is the single greatest key to achieving this ambition, he said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The 8th ISA Assembly is scheduled from October 27 to 30 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Minister Joshi highlighted that Indias solar progress reflects how national ambition can translate into tangible local impact. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Initiatives such as the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana have already enabled over 20 lakh households to benefit from rooftop solar power.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Originating from the shared vision of India and France, the ISA has evolved into a powerful global platform for clean energy, with membership now reaching 124 countries.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The alliance aims to unlock USD 1 trillion in solar investments by 2030 while reducing technology and financing costs, reinforcing Indias leadership in the global renewable energy transition.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
