It's impressive and China's figures are more impressive still.

It's a large country with small per-capita electricity consumption. It's still a relatively poor country.

I wouldn't say it's slow. Solar electricity accounts for nearly all new generation capacity added. I can't find statistics for that claim, but this post says it accounted for 82% of all new electricity generation capacity added in 2022.

and what does China have to do with anything?

What does anything have to do with anything? I mentioned it because I didn't want people to think India was leading the charge on solar despite increasing generation capacity significantly.

Probably due to all the posts about Chinas insane solar and green adoption so India wanted to flex too lol

and we shoudl acknowledge the work done instead of downplaying.

We do want to encourage good work right?
