India’s Solar PLI Scheme Draws Strong Interest but Faces Implementation

India’s PLI drives ‘robust’ solar manufacturing, but upstream lacking muscle

India’s flagship solar PV manufacturing incentive has driven “robust growth” in the sector since its launch, but hurdles remain to building a complete domestic supply chain.

India’s solar PLI scheme draws strong interest but faces implementation

A new JMK Research and Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) study says India’s solar production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme is spurring upstream manufacturing but remains constrained by policy gaps, capital intensity and volatile global supply chains.From pv magazine India The solar PLI scheme continues to draw strong interest from India’s PV manufacturers, but delivery remains uneven as operational capacity lags award…

Production Linked Incentive scheme drives robust growth in India’s solar manufacturing sector

9 December 2025 (JMK Research and IEEFA South Asia): A new report from JMK Research and the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) notes that while the solar PLI scheme has helped lay the groundwork for domestic PV manufacturing, it continues to face significant operational and policy challenges.

Solar PLI scheme drives strong industry interest but faces implementation challenges

As of June 2025, the overall achievement (operational capacity) rate of the solar PLI scheme stood at approximately 29% of the total awarded capacity. Capacity additions remain below targets, with only 59% of module capacity and 14% of polysilicon capacity achieved as of June 2025.A new report from JMK Research and the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) notes that while the solar PLI scheme has helped lay the groundwor…
