印度推进太阳能电池国产

Core Viewpoint - The Indian government is implementing a phased approach to promote domestic production of photovoltaic (PV) equipment to reduce reliance on China, with a target of making domestic products acceptable if the price gap narrows to around 1.2 times that of Chinese products [1][11]. Group 1: Government Initiatives - The Indian government aims for renewable energy to account for 50% of total electricity by 2030, with solar energy making up 80% of renewable energy capacity [7]. - A phased mandatory domestic production policy for PV equipment has been introduced, starting with solar panels in 2019, expanding to batteries by June 2026, and to wafers by June 2028 [7]. - The government has set a target for installed capacity to reach 100 GW by 2024, projected to increase to 364 GW by the end of 2031 [10]. Group 2: Industry Developments - Avaada Group plans to stop importing PV panels from China by 2024 and will establish a factory with an annual capacity of 8.5 GWh, with intentions to increase production [3]. - AMPIN Energy Transition, a new renewable energy company, will invest approximately 10 billion rupees to build a factory in Odisha, aiming to produce solar cells and PV panels by 2026 [10]. - Adani Enterprises Ltd is set to build a 6 GW battery and PV panel factory in Gujarat by June 2026, increasing its production capacity by 2.5 times to 10 GW [10]. Group 3: Market Dynamics - In August, coal accounted for over 60% of India's electricity generation, while renewable energy made up 30%, with solar energy contributing less than 10% [5]. - In 2024, 80% of imported PV panels will come from China, amounting to $2.3 billion, highlighting the risk of supply disruptions affecting electricity supply [7]. - Indian companies are facing challenges in upstream production due to the need for advanced technology, with few domestic firms engaged in the necessary material processing [3][11].
