Our consulting services are a rich combination of insights and actionables, and are directed towards companies’ top management

Specific Categories of Assistance
The Indian solar energy sectors (both solar power and solar thermal) have been witnessing furious growth in the past few years, and this growth appears set to continue in future. Such growth possibilities offer attractive business opportunities for a range of Indian businesses.
At the same time, challenges from global competition, falling margins and uncertain policy and regulatory regimes are making top management of many large industrial groups hesitant before betting big on solar.
Our consulting assistance, targeted at the top management of medium and large Indian companies keen on going solar, provides clarity, recommendations and other forms of tangible solutions that enable corporates to take appropriate decisions and take concrete steps in moving forward.

Building a Solar Energy Roadmap for Your Company — 2025
India’s solar energy sector has continued strong growth since 2010 and accelerated through 2024–25. As of 30 September 2025, India’s cumulative installed solar (PV) capacity stands at approximately 127.33 GW.
The government retains an ambitious non-fossil/renewable target for 2030 (the 500 GW+ objective where solar is the main growth engine). Domestic manufacturing support — including the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) programme for high-efficiency solar PV modules — has driven significant module and cell capacity additions, improving supply security and creating local manufacturing scale.
Policy and market dynamics make solar an attractive long-term business opportunity for medium and large companies (captive rooftop, ground-mounted captive, open-access PPAs, or corporate/virtual PPAs). At the same time, developers face practical challenges such as land and regulatory delays, transmission and evacuation bottlenecks (which can cause curtailment), and project financing considerations — all of which need to be managed during project development and contracting.
Therefore, industries and businesses keen on investing in the Indian solar segment face a mix of growing opportunities and operational risks. What should a medium or large Indian business do, and how should they strategise their entry into this space?
This is where EAI, with its in-depth understanding of the solar market and its dynamics, can help your company: we can prepare a practical, board-ready solar energy roadmap tailored to your firm’s energy profile, risk appetite, and strategic objectives.
EAI can assist in bundling technical, commercial and regulatory inputs into a strategy optimised for your firm’s strengths, vision and aspirations.
