Solar PV Module Manufacturing Capacity of
39,600 MW Allocated under PLI (Tranche-II)
• PLI (Tranche-II) to bring in an investment of Rs. 93041 crores; Generate
over One Lakh direct and indirect jobs
• Success of PLI in high-end Solar PV Modules manufacturing, a big boost to
Prime Minister’s vision of Atmanirbahar Bharat, R. K. Singh, Union Minister for
Power & NRE
• 48 GW of domestic Solar Module manufacturing capacity to be added in next
3 years
The Government
has allocated a total capacity of 39,600 MW of domestic Solar PV module manufacturing
capacity to 11 companies, with a total outlay of Rs. 14,007 Crores under the Production
Linked Incentive Scheme for High Efficiency Solar PV Modules (Tranche-II). Manufacturing
capacity totaling 7400 MW is expected to become operational by October 2024, 16,800
MW capacity by April 2025 and the balance 15,400 MW capacity by April 2026. The
Tranche-II is expected to bring in an investment of Rs. 93,041 crore. It will also
generate a total of 1,01,487 jobs with 35,010 getting direct employment and 66,477
being indirectly employed. The list of the companies is at Annexure - A.
Speaking on the
success of the PLI scheme, R. K. Singh, Union Minister for Power & NRE said
that India was well on its way to climb up the value chain in production of the
high technology Solar PV Modules and this capacity addition is a major step towards
making India Aatmanirbhar in solar manufacturing sector. "The PLI Scheme
has proved to be a watershed event in India's Renewable landscape resulting in around
48 GW domestic module manufacturing capacity within next 3 years. Scheme has boosted
Government's efforts to reduce not only the impact of global supply chain shocks
but also our import dependence adhering to the Hon'ble Prime Minister's vision of
an Aatmanirbhar Bharat," Mr. Singh said.
A total integrated
capacity of 8737 MW was allocated under Tranche-I of the Scheme, in November-December,
2022. Considering the two tranches together, the total domestic solar PV module
manufacturing capacity allocated under the PLI Scheme is 48,337 MW, with a cumulative
support of more than Rs. 18,500 Crore by the Government.
