The Government on Tuesday said it has allocated 39,600 MW of
domestic solar PV module manufacturing capacity to 11 companies with an outlay
of Rs 14,007 crore under Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme.
Reliance has been awarded capacity worth 6,000 MW, Waaree
6000 MW, ReNew 4,800 MW, JSW 1,000 MW while Tata Power Solar got 4,000 MW, said
a statement.
Manufacturing capacity totaling 7400 MW is expected to
become operational by October 2024, 16,800 MW capacity by April 2025 and the
balance 15,400 MW capacity by April 2026. The Tranche-II is expected to bring
in an investment of Rs. 93,041 crore. It will also generate a total of 1,01,487
jobs with 35,010 getting direct employment and 66,477 being indirectly
employed, said the statement.
Under the polysilicon, ingot-wafers, solar cells and module
(P+W+C+M) basket, Reliance and Indosol bagged 6,000 MW capacity each while
First Solar bagged 3,400MW. P+W+C+M Basket includes manufacturing of
polysilicon, ingot-wafers, solar cells and modules.
Under ingot-wafers, solar cells and modules (W+C+M) Basket,
Waaree bagged 6,000 MW followed by ReNew at 4,800 MW, Avaada at 3,000MW, Grew
at 2000 MW and JSW at 1,000 MW. Under solar cells and modules basket, Tata
Power Solar bagged 4,000 MW followed by Vikram at 2,400 MW and AMPIN 1000 MW.
A total integrated capacity of 8737 MW was allocated under
Tranche-I of the Scheme, in November-December, 2022. Considering the two
tranches together, the total domestic solar PV module manufacturing capacity
allocated under the PLI Scheme is 48,337 MW, with a cumulative support of more
than Rs. 18,500 crore by the Government.
"The PLI Scheme has proved to be a watershed event in
India's Renewable landscape resulting in around 48 GW domestic module
manufacturing capacity within the next 3 years. Scheme has boosted Government's
efforts to reduce not only the impact of global supply chain shocks but also
our import dependence adhering to the Hon'ble Prime Minister's vision of an
Aatmanirbhar Bharat," Union Power and New and Renewable Energy Minister R
K Singh said in a statement.
