Indian Economy (20 Viewers)

[SKC]

As of now, are there any Indian companies manufacturing polycrystalline or monocrystalline cells. It is known that India certainly imports the majority of solar cells.

While many companies cells made in China, Vietnam and malaysia, there are now several players doing manufacturing of cells in India:

Company	Headquarters	Manufacturing Location(s)	Cell Type(s)	Indian-Owned
Waaree Energies	Mumbai, Maharashtra	Surat (Gujarat)	Polycrystalline, expanding Mono PERC	Yes
Vikram Solar	Kolkata, West Bengal	Tamil Nadu & WB	Mono PERC, Polycrystalline	Yes
RenewSys India	Hyderabad, Telangana	Hyderabad	Mono PERC, Polycrystalline	Yes
Tata Power Solar	Mumbai, Maharashtra	Bengaluru (Karnataka)	Polycrystalline, Mono (PERC in progress)	Yes
Adani Solar	Ahmedabad, Gujarat	Mundra (Gujarat)	Mono PERC, TOPCon (new lines)	Yes
Emmvee Solar	Bengaluru, Karnataka	Karnataka	Mono (under development), Polycrystalline	Yes

Entire Solar supply chain is established within the country. Our imports are already dropping and will see a drastic drop starting next year. Reliance has vertically integrated setup with the acquisition of REC solar. Adani is making everything in house now from Polysilicon to wafer to ingots to panels. Other small players exist as well although I am not sure about how much of it is local content in their panels.

Sinovoltaics highlights India’s strengthening supply chain

India’s solar panel supply chain map, recently updated by Hong Kong-based quality assurance firm Sinovoltaics, identifies 111 production sites with a combined PV module manufacturing capacity of 58.4 GW. An additional 60 GW is set to come online between 2027 and 2030, raising announced capacity...

Excellent! Also, what happened to the public sector CEL( Central Electronics Ltd). At one time, they were producing solar cells. ISRO can now make space grade solar cells, or has them made, probably by Bharat Electronics(?)
