India Plans Solar Cell Exports Amid Rising Capacity and China’s Export Controls
India is expanding its solar cell manufacturing capacity, expected to double from 50 GW to 100 GW by next year, potentially exceeding domestic demand. The government is exploring export opportunities, targeting markets in Africa and Europe, amid challenges like reliance on Chinese inputs. Meanwhile, China is considering export restrictions on key solar technologies, which could affect India's efforts to develop self-reliant solar manufacturing. Industry experts suggest these measures may have limited immediate impact on rooftop solar prices but could pose long-term challenges.
