The £Scheme 19 500 Crore for fully and partially integrated solar PV module has scheduled commissioning data from October 2024 to April 2026.
Data from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy have shown that approximately 17.5 GW of module’s production capacity was completed by First Solar, Avaada, Grew, Tata Power Solar and Indosol, from awarded 48.3 GW to several companies.

Of the 44.9 production capacity of GW cells awarded to several companies, Tata Power Solar and Renew have only completed 6 GW.
As regards the production of ingot and wafers, Adani Group has only completed 2 GW capacity, from the total capacity of 37.5 GW.
“The key reason for the delay was the lack of supplies of components and the transmission of technology from China, as well as a curb for traveling technicians,” the executive said on condition of anonymity.
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNre) is negotiating with the Ministry of Finance to extend the deadline after the industry addressed the government with a similar request.
“The extension may be submitted by a case from a case and wherever they relate to the restriction of the supplier chain. Interviews between MNre and the Ministry of Finance are underway and the final decision is not yet taken,” one of the two people said.

In the last few months, industrial players have also addressed the Ministry for External Affairs (MEA) to release the limitation of visas for techniques who also influenced the project’s implementation. However, this problem has not yet been solved when worried about national security, the above -mentioned executive industry added.
“Mea has also been provided with some specific names of the required technicians who need to travel but have not yet come,” said the Executive Director.
Questions sent to Mnre, Mea, Adani Group, Avaada Group, Reliance Industries and Indosol remained unanswered until the press time.
Another executive with the module manufacturer in the PLI scheme: “India currently remains entirely dependent on imports for equipment and critical materials for module production and is vulnerable to global disruption of the supply chain and price fluctuations.
The executive worker added that the current global dynamics of worldwide and business dynamics influenced the supply chains and led to uncertainty when entering orders to equipment leading to the time of time.
But Amit Paithankar, director and CEO of Waaree Energies LTD, said: “Our project supported by PLI is on the track. Various project phases-including public procurement and commissioning-during the course, during the course of it over the course of it. The course, and it is over the course of it, and it is over the course of it, and it is over the course of it, and it is over the course of it, and it is over the course of it is over the course of it.
The production of solar components was a key area for the government, as India aims to reduce important addiction from China. Although India has expanded its module and other components in the last few years, the lack of inventories and technical assistance from China has influenced domestic production over the past few years.
The government also imposed tariff and non-tariff barriers to solar modules, including high basic customs duties and approved list of models and manufacturers for the supply of modules to government projects.
At the beginning of this year, Mnre said it would introduce a similar list for solar articles since June 2026.
In December 2024, the Ministry of Finance imposed a temporary anti -dumping obligation for textured, tempered, coated and unpacked imports of solar glass from China in the range of $ 673-677 per ton and $ 565 for a ton for imports from Vietnam. Then the price of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules increased by 10-12%.
In January, Mint wrote that the increase in prices has raised concerns between industry participants regarding the cost of project costs and potential delays.

Currently, according to MNre data, the country has about 80 production capacity of the module, including those in the PLI system. Indian capacity of cells and wafers is 25GW and 2GW. The aim of the center is to have a 100 GW capacity of 100 GW for cells and 40GW for wafers by 2030 and also become an export center.
Indian manufacturers also export modules, the US is the largest assignment. As India is trying to become a production center for renewable energy components, the center also monitors direct government contracts to the government with African and West Asian nations to open new markets for Indian companies and solar facilities.
