+# India Solar Data Pipeline for PVNet
+
+This contribution adds support for **India solar generation data** to the open-data-pvnet project.
+
+## Data Source
+
+**Mendeley Dataset**: [DOI 10.17632/y58jknpgs8.2](https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/y58jknpgs8/2)
+- 29 monthly Excel files (Sep 2021 - Jun 2025)
+- 5-minute resolution solar/wind generation data
+- Covers all 5 Indian regional grids (NR, WR, SR, ER, NER)
+
+## Files Added
+
+### Configuration Files
+| File | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `configs/india_pv_data_config.yaml` | India solar data settings |
+| `configs/india_gfs_config.yaml` | GFS NWP config for India region |
+| `configs/india_regions.csv` | 5 regional grid metadata |
+| `configs/PVNet_configs/datamodule/configuration/india_configuration.yaml` | Complete PVNet config |
+
+### Scripts
+| File | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `scripts/download_mendeley_india.py` | Dataset download instructions |
+| `scripts/process_india_data.py` | Excel → Zarr conversion |
+| `scripts/test_india_pipeline.py` | Pipeline validation tests |
+| `scripts/train_india_baseline.py` | Solar-only baseline model |
+
+## Data Processing Results
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| **Rows** | 5,184 hourly |
+| **Date Range** | Jan 1, 2024 → Jun 30, 2025 |
+| **Mean Solar** | 15,899 MW |
+| **Max Solar** | 64,701 MW |
+
+## Baseline Model Results
+
+A simple temporal model (hour, month, lag features) achieves:
+- **RMSE**: 8,270 MW
+- **MAE/Mean**: ~52%
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+1. **2021-2023 data**: Uses SCADA codes as column headers - requires manual mapping
+2. **NWP coverage**: OCF's GFS S3 data only covers UK region. India NWP needs NOAA GFS processing.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Process NOAA GFS for India (68-98°E, 6-38°N)
+2. Add 2021-2023 data with SCADA code mapping
+3. Integrate with full PVNet model architecture
+
+## Related Issue
+
+Closes #121 (India contribution)
