Solar manufacturers that plan on setting up integrated, higher capacity plants in India will be given preference in the country’s new production-linked incentive (PLI) programme.
The Indian government has approved production-lined incentives for the country’s solar module manufacturing sector to help the country add an extra 10GW of solar power generation capacity over the next five years.
The sourcing of PV cells and modules from authorised providers was due to become mandatory for certain projects in April but the country is granting a six-month extension to help with COVID-19.
