Another PLI hits the Chinese wall: India mulls solar module dates
Mint Hyderabad
|June 02, 2025
The government is considering extending the deadline for completion of projects under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for solar modules and their parts, said four people in the know of the development, amid delays in technology sourcing and component supply from China.
The ₹19,500 crore scheme for fully and partially integrated solar PV module manufacturing has scheduled commissioning dates from October 2024 to April 2026. Data from the ministry of new and renewable energy showed that around 17.5 GW of module manufacturing capacity had been completed by First Solar, Avaada, Grew, Tata Power Solar and Indosol, out of the awarded 48.3 GW awarded to several firms.
Of the 44.9 GW cell manufacturing capacity awarded to several companies, only 6 GW has been completed by Tata Power Solar and ReNew.
In ingot and wafer manufacturing, only 2 GW capacity has been completed by Adani Group, out of the overall 37.5 GW awarded capacity.
