Foreign Media: India will require the use of locally manufactured solar silicon ingots and wafers for clean energy projects starting from June 2028, to reduce Chinese imports and complete the localization of the photovoltaic manufacturing industry.
Currently, India's capacity for silicon ingots and wafers is only about 2 gigawatts, completely dependent on imported cells, silicon ingots, wafers, and polysilicon from China. Companies such as Waaree Energies, Tata Power, and Indosol Solar have announced significant investments to expand production, supporting India's goal to double its non-fossil fuel capacity to 500 gigawatts by 2030.
In addition, India has stipulated that starting from June 2026, domestically produced solar cells must be used, and locally assembled solar components are already being enforced in government projects.
