The data reflects rising consumer interest in energy upgrades, infrastructure readiness and long-term power solutions across both metropolitan and emerging cities. City-wise data reveals sharp momentum in select markets within the Solar-related Services category. Patna registered a remarkable 206% increase, more than tripling year-on-year search interest. Delhi followed with a 153% surge, while Bangalore recorded an 81% rise. Hyderabad saw a 53% increase, and Chennai posted a 35% growth.

The trend may also reflect commercial and industrial expansion alongside sustained residential demand. The findings underscore evolving consumer behaviour, with users actively exploring structured energy solutions and professional services to support power transitions across India.
