Domestic Inputs May Be Upped For Wind Projects

Wind power projects may need to use a fixed amount of local components to secure government assistance, two people aware of the plans said, on the lines of a similar mandate for solar power projects.
NEW DELHI:
The government has begun talks with industry stakeholders to introduce a domestic content requirement (DCR), one of the two people cited above said on the condition of anonymity.
"The specific percentage of DCR and the components have not been finalised, but it should be high as indigenisation of wind turbines and few other components is already strong, and several components are already manufactured here," the person added.
According to the second person, the local content may be well above 30% of the components used in a project.
As in many other sectors, the move aims to encourage local manufacturing and reduce dependence on China. India's productivity-linked incentive plans have similar requirements too.

Impetus for science amidst a global churn
The relentless rise of technologies pervades every aspect of human life today, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is its enforcer.

There are two extreme ways—and a few in between—for countries to address this rise. The first is to be a passive user and play with markets, services, and exports of natural resources, including human talent. The second is to become a truly competitive player in this changing world, and to tilt the use of science and technology for our social and economic benefit. Budget allocations can help in pointing out the direction.
