Solar Advantage in India

BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Most Urban & industrial centers in India are experiencing peak electricity shortages of over 15%.

India has come up with a plan to develop 60 cities as SOLAR

CITIES. The proposal envisages a minimum 10% reduction in total demand of conventional energy after five years in each of these cities through efficiency and renewal energy measures

India Focus on Solar EnergyMANUFACTURING

India’s PV manufacturing sector is developing fast.India is the best country after China for business investment. US marketing company DCI cites India’s labour, including its supply, skills level and cost, as the main reason for this positive perception.

Indian Government has announced a semiconductor policy under its Special Incentive Package Scheme ( SIPS) which will provide 20% of the capital expenditure, during the first 10 years for semiconductor industries, including manufacturing activities related to Solar PV technology located in Special Economic Zones (SEZ) and 25% for industries not located in SEZ.

Opportunities

• In a article published in New York times, it is reported that India is working towards becoming a global leader & a hub of solar power, something like US, Germany and Spain were recognized for.

• As per National Solar Mission reports, India plans to add 20000 MW of Solar Power Generation Capacity by 2020. Further the plan envisages 100000 MW by 2030 and 200000 MW by the middle of this century.

• On top of it, India has among the highest solar irradiance in the world which makes solar PV all the more attractive for India.
