The last quarter has seen PV projects under both, the National Solar Mission (NSM) and the Gujarat solar policy being commissioned, taking the current total installed capacity of PV in India to 540.4MW. This is the largest PV capacity addition in any quarter in the Indian market so far. A majority of the projects have managed to complete only after being delayed beyond the deadlines under the respective solar policies. Commissioning projects has been a challenge in an industry that is yet to gain easy access to project financing. Developers have further had to deal with tough execution challenges to complete their projects.
The Indian PV manufacturing industry is in dire straits at the moment, running their plants well below capacity due to dwindling orders. A fall in demand in the European markets has impacted Indian manufacturers significantly, as they have almost entirely relied on them for business so far. In the Indian market, they are losing out to foreign suppliers that are more competitive than them in both price and technology. None the less, some Indian manufacturers are investing in integrating across the value chain and expanding current production capacity. Such players are also looking to gain access to projects through own project development, a strategy that is becoming increasingly popular in India.
