MNRE: Suggestions sought from all Solar Manufacturers/Investors/Consultants/Experts for Solar Polysilicon, Ingot and wafer manufacturing facility in India

Government  of  India  has  launched  Make  in  India  Programme  on  29 -12-2014  to facilitate  investment,  foster  innovation,  protect  intellectual  property,  and  build  best-in-class manufacturing  infrastructure.      As  per  the  Mission  Document  of  National  Solar  Mission, manufacturing  capacity  to  the  tune  of  4-5  GW  is  to  be  achieved  by  the  year  2020.    This would   include   dedicated   manufacturing   capacity   for   Polysilicon,   Ingot   and   wafer manufacturing facility to annually make about 2 GW capacities of solar cells.  As of now the installed capacity of cells and modules in the country is 1386 MW & 2756 MW respectively and there is no Polysilicon, Ingot and wafer manufacturing facility.

Government  is  considering  to  support  Polysilicon,  Ingot  and  wafer  manufacturing facility in India. Various modalities to create the support framework are under consideration. The interested Solar Manufacturers/Investors/Consultants/Experts in the field may contact the undersigned at 011-24360764 and email:sk.gupta81@gov.in.
