India has been a leader in solar adoption due to its abundant solar resources and supportive policies for promoting renewable energy usage. Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology has emerged as one of the most promising renewable energy sources for catering to India's energy needs. Rising electricity demand, issues with fossil fuel imports and climate change concerns have encouraged the government to push for higher solar PV adoption targets. Solar PV modules are a key component in the solar power value chain. Lower module prices globally have made large-scale solar projects more economically viable in India.
Market Dynamics:
India solar PV module market growth is driven by factors like rising renewable energy targets by government, lower module prices globally making solar projects more cost-competitive, abundant solar resources, and growing emphasis on offsetting fossil fuel imports. However, intermittent nature of solar power generation, high initial capital costs for deploying large solar projects and technology performance risks can hamper the market growth. Policy and regulatory uncertainties with regard to land availability and power evacuation infrastructure can also hamper the market growth. The production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for solar modules manufacturing presents opportunities for attracting investments and strengthening domestic manufacturing capabilities in the near future.
