Following the national solar support programs for foreign solar modules into the Indian market under a ban, the Indian government is considering a ban next year in March by the Government to support the use of imported solar cells solar energy project.
July 25, in line with “Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Programme,” The implementation of the new Indian Energy and Renewable Energy Department issued a “right and power generation of advanced solar projects policy guidelines.” Tutorial contains the “Buy Indian” provisions.
The guide is the fifth part of the second chapter, “solar photovoltaic project selection criteria” in Article 4 of “local self-made” emphasizes: India’s “national solar plan” an important goal is to promote the development of domestic manufacturing, project developers as far as possible use of their manufacturing facilities in India.
However, the first elected into the 2010-2011 fiscal year the government plans to support solar projects, the guide asked, crystalline silicon technology projects and opening up business “must use its own manufacturing solar modules in India.” For the second fiscal year 2011-2012 to support the project, the guide said that these projects will use India’s own manufacturing of solar cells and modules.
Although the guide did not say ban the import of solar cells specific execution time, but New Energy Investment Company Norasco head Ajay Goyal told reporters: From next March, these selected items have to use Indian-made solar cells.
Government of India launched at the end of last year, “Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Programme”, hoping through the implementation of the plan to enhance India’s domestic solar power generation and industrial strength, and then to India to become global leaders in solar energy industry. This program includes both photovoltaic and solar thermal energy most, three-stage plan in the photovoltaic market in India by 2013 the cumulative total can reach 1GW, 2022 to 20GW, and solar thermal energy in part to 14GW.
July 25, India’s new energy and renewable energy minister, Farooq Abdullah, speaking in New Delhi made it clear that “India is the government’s top priority.”
“In the National Solar plans to implement the first phase, you may use of imported equipment, but this does not mean you do not use India Inc’s solar equipment. 但 in the second stage, you are not allowed to import foreign products Jiang.” Farooq Abdullah said in his speech.
The resolution has been Tata BP Solar India’s Moser Baer solar energy company and the company’s support and welcome. The two companies are the largest solar photovoltaic industry in India manufacturers.
Once the implementation of this policy will harm China’s export of solar energy companies in India. In the interview, Ajay Goyal told reporters, “now is a golden opportunity to invest in solar projects in India, the Chinese solar energy companies can also consider manufacturing in India.”
