US and India Implement Policies Limiting Chinese Participation in Solar Manufacturing

The US, under legislation initiated by Donald Trump, bans firms with Chinese ties from government subsidies and limits Chinese ownership and supply shares, impacting investments and operations. India’s Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) excludes most Chinese firms from supplying solar projects, aiming to boost local production but raising concerns about trade barriers and cost implications.
