Onus is now on industry to satisfy rising demand for solar, association PSES says as country prepares to tender 750MW of PV this year.

With stricter quality standards due to be brought in for Indian solar tenders, including inspections for modules, cells and wafers, energy and mines minister Piyush Goyal has warned the industry about failure to keep equipment quality high.
