The Union Cabinet approved the Pradhan Mantri Surya Sarovar Yojana, a central scheme to promote floating solar power plants set up on water bodies. It targets 5,000 MW of such installations by 2030-31. Floating solar deploys photovoltaic panels on the surface of reservoirs and other water bodies rather than on land, adding dedicated support to expand India's renewable-energy capacity.
