India Plans Incentives to Expand Polysilicon and Solar Manufacturing Capacity
India is advancing its renewable energy manufacturing with plans to boost polysilicon production through a new incentive scheme aimed at reducing import dependence, especially from China. The country aims to increase solar cell manufacturing capacity from 32 GW to 100 GW within a year and reach 80 GW of wafer and ingot capacity by June 2028. India is the second-largest solar module manufacturer globally and has crossed 300 GW of non-fossil fuel power capacity. International delegations have recognized India's growing solar manufacturing capabilities and potential for global collaboration.
