India Plans PLI Scheme to Boost Domestic Polysilicon Manufacturing and Cut China Imports
India plans to introduce a production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme to promote domestic polysilicon manufacturing, aiming to reduce reliance on imports, especially from China. Polysilicon is a key raw material in the solar photovoltaic supply chain. The scheme could support over 10 GW of production capacity and is part of India's broader goal to build an integrated solar manufacturing ecosystem and achieve 500 GW of non-fossil fuel power capacity by 2030. Financial details of the incentive have not been disclosed.
