India's solar story has, until recently, been told largely in terms of open land. Vast arrays in Bhadla, Pavagada and Kurnool transformed scrubland into some of the world's largest solar parks, and the country's installed solar capacity has climbed from roughly 3 gigawatts (GW) in 2014 to more than 162 GW by June 2026. But that growth has quietly run into a familiar Indian constraint: land is scarce, contested and expensive, and every new solar park competes with farming, forests...
