India Advances Domestic Polysilicon Scheme Amid China's Solar Export Restrictions
The Indian government has received in-principle approval from the Ministry of Finance to launch a scheme supporting domestic polysilicon manufacturing, a key raw material for solar panels. This initiative aims to build 30,000 MW of polysilicon capacity by 2030 with an estimated investment of ₹25,000 crore. Concurrently, China's proposed export restrictions on solar manufacturing technologies may accelerate India's efforts to develop domestic production of wafers, cells, and ingots, despite short-term risks due to reliance on Chinese inputs and equipment.
