- Phase-2 target would be 10,000 MW installed power by 2017
- Phase-3 target would be 20,000 MW installed power by 2022
- Targets in terms of solar thermal collector area would be to achieve 15 million sq. meters solar thermal collector area by 2017 and 20 million by 2022
- Other important target would be to create favourable conditions for solar manufacturing capability, particularly solar thermal for indigenous production and market leadership
