India has set an ambitious target of setting up 175 GW capacity of renewable energy by 2022 and 450 GW by 2030. On the basis of a techno-economic analysis, Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has indicated in their Optimum Energy Mix report that 280 GW capacity from solar energy will be needed by 2029-30. To achieve the target, around 25 GW solar energy capacity is needed to be installed every year, till 2030. Solar capacity addition presently depends largely upon imported solar PV cells and modules as the domestic manufacturing industry has limited operational annual capacities. |

|
|
|
To build up solar PV manufacturing capacity of high efficiency modules.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To bring cutting edge technology to India for manufacturing high efficiency modules. The scheme will be technology agnostic in that it will allow all technologies. However, technologies which will result in better module performance will be incentivised. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To promote setting up of integrated plants for better quality control and competitiveness. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To develop an ecosystem for sourcing of local material in solar manufacturing. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Employment generation and technological self-sufficiency. |
