FAQS about India downgrades PV module exports

Does India have a decline in solar cells & module imports?

India has recorded a decline in solar cell and module imports by 20% and 57%, respectively, during the first eight months of the 2024-25 fiscal year, according to a report by analytics services provider Rubix.

Will India's PV module exports decline in 2026?

However, India’s PV module exports to the US and Europe will likely decline starting from 2026 due to the operation of new domestic manufacturing plants in these regions.

Why are Indian manufacturers exporting solar modules?

Despite dependencies on imports for photovoltaic cells and wafers, Indian manufacturers are increasingly exporting solar modules. Government initiatives like the Production-Linked Incentive scheme are boosting local production.

Are India's solar modules oversupply risks?

India's solar module production has surged to 100 GW, but a report by SBI Capital Markets warns of potential oversupply risks. With the US reducing incentives for solar projects, exports have declined, raising concerns about domestic overproduction.

Which Indian solar module manufacturers are planning to expand their production capacity?

Additionally, several Indian solar module manufacturers announced plans to expand their manufacturing capacities. For example, solar module manufacturer Gautam Solar planned to double its annual module production capacity to 2GW by the end of next year through an investment of INR1.5 billion (around US$17 million).

How much did India export solar cells and modules in 2022?

Imports of solar cells and modules stood at ₹21,850 crore in 2022. India exported solar PVs and modules worth ₹4,640 crore in 2022.
