Indian conglomerate Adani is considering setting up large-scale solar PV projects in Bangladesh as the firm’s renewable energy vision continues to expand outside of India.

The regulator in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu has rejected Indian conglomerate Adani’s call for a revaluation of the tariffs it is set to receive for developing the world’s largest solar plant, Adani sources have told Mercom Capital Group.

Adani Group, currently the largest solar developer in India, plans to start constructing two solar PV plants with 100-200MW capacities in Australia next year, according to a Bombay Stock Exchange filing.

Adani Enterprises, part of Adani Group, has completed a 100MW solar PV project in Punjab, which is the largest in India using single-axis trackers.

Adani Green Energy, a subsidiary of Indian conglomerate Adani has completed a 648MW solar plant in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

Indian corporates are taking a significant share of the domestic solar PV market with Indian conglomerate Adani taking top spot in terms of capacity additions in the last year, according to consultancy firm Bridge to India.

Solar tracker firm NEXTracker has delivered trackers to a 105MW PV plant developed by Indian conglomerate Adani in the state of Punjab.

Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has awarded 40MW of solar PV capacity to Renew Solar Power and 25MW to Mahindra Renewables in the state of Gujarat under open category.

With India’s solar cell and module manufacturing capacity at about 1,200MW and 5,600MW respectively in April this year, Bridge to India's Jyoti Gulia looks at the plight of domestic manufacturers in the face of China's traditional dominance of the sector.

Indian solar PV manufacturing is beginning to make headway after a significant module capacity increase in the last year. PV Tech caught up with Ivan Saha, president and chief technical officer of India-based manufacturer Vikram Solar for an industry update.
