India Solar Panel Mounting Structure Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2025-2033)

Mounting structures in solar panels are key elements of a photovoltaic system, as it is the spine that can support solar modules through diverse weather conditions. Depending on the application (residential, commercial, industrial, or utility scale works), it is designed to sustain the weather loads, reduce corrosion, and facilitate its installation. Their structure determines the efficiency of the system as well as its durability.

The India Solar Panel Mounting Structure market is set to show a growth rate of about 11.60% during the forecast period (2025-2033F). This is due to the growing installation of utility-scale solar projects and the rapid mobilization of rooftop systems in the residential and commercial markets. Also, policy or financial incentives, such as PM Surya Ghar and PM-KUSUM, led by the government, are motivating mass installations. Adding to this, the rising innovations in low-maintenance materials, which are also light in weight, like aluminum and Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP), are optimizing system efficiency and cutting maintenance costs. Moreover, urbanization and increasing electricity needs are also enhancing the need for trustworthy and modular solar infrastructure more rapidly. As per the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, on April 1, 2025, the PM KUSUM Scheme witnessed record progress. The total number of solar pumps installed/solarized under the scheme has now exceeded 10 lakh (1 million). Financial expenditure for PM-KUSUM surged to INR 2,680 crore (USD 312.41 million), a 268% increase from the previous year.

The PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana witnessed impressive progress, benefiting over 11.01 lakh (1.101 million) households by March 31, 2025. Under the scheme, INR 5,437.20 crore (USD 633.72 million) has been disbursed as Central Financial Assistance to 6.98 lakh (0.698 million) beneficiaries, significantly promoting the adoption of rooftop solar.

Based on the type, the market is segmented into roof mounted, ground mounted, pole mounted, floating mounted, and carport mounted. Among these, the roof mounted structure market segment is expected to grow with a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2025-2033). The fast-growing installation of rooftop solar using government programs such as PM Surya Ghar is stimulating demand for roof-mounted structures in residential and commercial markets. It occupies minimum space and is suitable for installation in urban areas where land space is scarce. Moreover, the increased use of fast-forwarding localized solar installation creates space to mount structure providers that target rooftops. On June 17, 2025, Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), India's leading rooftop solar company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Power, announced the launch of India's most affordable rooftop solar solution at Bhubaneshwar in Odisha under its 'Ghar Ghar Solar' campaign.

Based on the material, the market is segmented into aluminum, steel, galvanized iron, and fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP). Among these, the aluminum solar panel mounting structure market held a significant share of the market in 2024. The use of aluminum mounting structures is becoming favorable owing to corrosion resistance, weightlessness, and the convenience of installation. This qualifies them to be used in residential and industrial rooftops, particularly in coastal and humid areas. The increased rate of popularity results in an increased demand for high-precision with low maintenance structures, which motivates manufacturers to diversify the use of aluminum products. On April 7, 2025, Jindal (India) Ltd, part of B.C. Jindal Group and a downstream steel products manufacturer in India, announced its entry into the renewable energy industry with the launch of its latest Jindalume line of aluminium-zinc (Al-Zn) coated coils designed for solar module mounting structures. The combination of aluminum-zinc imparts superior corrosion resistance, structural strength, and extended longevity, making Al-Zn coated coils an ideal choice for harsh outdoor environments and especially suited for solar module structures.

Based on the end user, the market is segmented into residential, commercial, industrial, utility, and others. Among these, the utility segment dominates the market in 2024. The solar capacity in India is dominated by utility-scale projects generating steady and large-volume demand to construct ground-mounted structures. The utilities projects are long-term, visible through government-organized auctions and solar park initiatives. It allows mounting structure businesses to increase activities, make investments into automated production, and achieve steady incomes.

For a better understanding of the market adoption of the India Solar Panel Mounting Structure market, it is analyzed based on its state-wise presence in India, such as North India, East India, West India, and South India. South India is expected to grow with a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2025-2033). South India is the leading country in cumulative solar capacity, including Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Telangana, among others, which have strong grid infrastructure and solar-friendly policies. The area is also favorable due to the reliability of sunlight, thereby promoting rooftop and ground-mounted installations. Moreover, developed regulatory markets and DISCOM facilitation promote a swiftness in the approval of projects. This continuous policy drive keeps the demand for solar panel mounting systems stable among the utility and commercial sectors.

Some major players running in the market include Tata International Ltd, Utkarsh India, Pennar Industries Limited, Raydean Industries, Strolar Mounting Systems Pvt. Ltd., Shreeji Engineering, Ghaziabad Mechfab (P) Ltd., ARS SolarTech, Purshotam Profiles, Goodluck India Limited.
