India: Centre Receives EoIs for Setting up Solar Manufacturing Equipment

The Central government has received expressions of interest (EoIs) to set up manufacturing capacity of nearly 35,000 MW of solar equipment.

If the bids materialise, they will result in the first large-scale plan to set up the manufacturing of ingots and wafers in the country.

India currently has a manufacturing capacity of 3,000 MW for cells and 10,000 MW for modules.

The EoIs are for setting up manufacturing capacity for 20,000 MW of solar modules, 15,000 MW of solar cells, and a similar quantity of ingots, wafers, etc.
