Summary

Solar photovoltaic (SPV) market in India is at nascent stage but has huge potential to grow. The SPV capacity in India is 100 MW. The market comprises of 20 companies engaged in the business of solar PV modules and 15 companies engaged in the business of solar PV cells while there are 50 companies that are engaged in the assembly and supply of PV systems.

The overview section provides an introduction to the overall renewable energy market including the share of renewable energy in the overall power sector in India, growth, and the share of the various segments of renewable energy, followed by a brief study on the photovoltaic technology and the overall solar photovoltaic market in India including region-wise distribution. An analysis of drivers reveals that abundant solar radiation, rise in foreign trade, fall in prices of raw materials, availability of funds, demand for off-grid PV applications, demand ¨C supply gap and rise in polysilicon plants is driving growth in this sector. The key challenges identified are high costs for setting up large scale grid connected solar PV projects, lack of supply of silicon wafers, lack of standards, land acquisition problems, lack of consumer awareness.

The report covers the various initiatives undertaken by the Government of India with the major initiative being the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission. Other initiatives include generation based incentives, focus on R&D, fiscal incentives, special incentive package, Akshay Urja shops, remote village lighting program and various State funded initiatives. The report also discusses the current market trends including tie-ups between domestic and foreign firms, introduction of EMI schemes, telecom towers adopting solar PV applications, thermal power companies diversifying into solar photovoltaic segment. The competitive landscape includes the profile, expansion plans of the players in the market. The report also covers key developments in the sector.
