India's agrivoltaics initiative aims to enhance food security and renewable energy production by utilizing land for both solar power generation and agriculture, with a potential capacity of 3,200 GWp. The initiative could help meet the country's 280 GW solar target by 2030, improve land productivity by 160%, and create approximately 110,000 jobs, despite initial cost challenges. A cohesive policy framework and strategic roadmap are essential for scaling agrivoltaics and addressing governance issues.
