• Clean energy sources – Solar PV and Wind
• Current capacity – 50 GW (predominantly wind, but solar PV is the current focus)
• Target: 100 GW solar PV by 2022 10-15GW per annum
• BOQ comprises, at high level, modules (panels), Inverters, Balance of System (BOS)
• International trade focus:
– Modules (50-60% of project cost)
– Steel and DC cables (sporadic)
• Photovoltaic cell and module manufacturing capacity in India*
– Cell: Manufacturers – 16, installed capacity – 1.468 GW, Operational 1.12GW
– Modules: Manufacturers – 94, installed capacity – 5.85GW, Operational – 4.30 GW• Min = 3MW, Max = 500MW, No of manufacturers with >100 MW = 12, Capacity with > 100MW = 2.89GW
• Average project sizes increasing (50MW) vs. Median manufacturing size (32MW)

• Domestic content requirement
– 2013 – 14: Anti dumping duty investigation
– 2016: WTO Dispute Settlement Panel Report
– Procurement with DCR (LCR) continues (~10% of capacity, but infrequent – not policy driven)
– Domestic modules are quoted in USD since wafers and cells need to be imported
– Domestic modules are ~10-15% costlier than imported
– Make in India program – encouraging domestic manufacturing of modules – import of wafer and cells are likely to continue
• Module imports continue to be tax-free but
– Discretionary interpretations of definition and classifications (HS codes) leading to project delays
• Goods and Services Tax (GST) introduction
– Uniform taxation is likely to remove tax benefits.
– Estimates show capex to increase by 6-10%
– Deliberations are continuing
Trade issues in solar PV modules

• Government to focus on Make in India program
– Local job creation
– Balance of payment
– Security concerns especially for electronic and automation component using communication
– International trend justification for protectionism
• International Solar Alliance to increase trade
• Focus on affordable electricity ( tariff) capex import to continue mainly due to higher domestic cost
• Recommendation to incentivize domestic manufacturing through international collaboration to bring cost parity.
– Trade barrier through DCR requirement will not be needed
• Quota (DCR) vs. Duty based debate to continue as long as there is pressure
• Trade negotiation tactic – India looking for enhanced mobility (product vs. People)
The way forward
