印度太阳能产业这几年蹿得挺快，可说到底，还是卡在中国供应链上。全球太阳能市场眼瞅着要冲到7万亿美元，中国企业占了大头，控制了80%到95%的 环节，从多晶硅到电池片，全是他们的地盘。 印度呢，2025年上半年新增可再生能源容量22吉瓦，同比涨了56%，可国内模块产能已经堆到74吉瓦，电池产能翻了三倍，实际跑起来才60-65吉瓦的安装 量，过剩得慌。 想想看，本土企业天天盯着进口数据，2023年对华贸易逆差就超850亿美元，好多钱砸在太阳能部件上。印度政府咬牙推生产联动激励方案，2022年就对模 块加了40%关税，电池25%，还搞ALMM清单，强制项目用本土货。 可这执行起来，原材料还得从中国拉，硅片、晶圆啥的，70%的供应链都绕不开北京。结果呢？本土成本高出一截，用中国电池的模块比纯中国货贵48%， 全本土的更离谱，143%贵。企业们天天算账，进口参考价一压，低价货进不来，可高端线又跟不上，技术瓶颈卡在那。 产能过剩这事，印度太阳能现在尝尽苦头，出口一堵，国内就炸锅。2025年模块产能110吉瓦，预计2027年3月破165吉瓦，可安装量卡在45-50吉瓦，库存积 压，厂子利用率低到25%，小厂天天烧钱，大厂也 ...
