The Indian government has reintroduced restrictions on the import of solar modules in a bid to boost local manufacturing and decrease reliance on imports. This decision, effective immediately, follows an earlier allowance that permitted imports until March 31, 2024. The government's shift underscores its commitment to supporting domestic capacities in meeting the demands of the solar industry.

Initially introduced in 2021, the mandate requires solar project developers to source modules from an approved list, serving as a non-tariff barrier to promote domestic manufacturing.
This decision coincides with optimistic projections for the growth of domestic manufacturing capacities by 2026. Reports indicate that India's cumulative solar module manufacturing capacity reached 64.5 GW by December 2023, with solar cell manufacturing capacity at 5.8 GW. With the introduction of the government's new policy and increased awareness, India's domestic module manufacturing capacity is anticipated to exceed 150 GW, with cell manufacturing capacity expected to reach 75 GW by 2026.

Despite earlier exemptions announced in February 2023 for certain projects, the latest order on the reinstatement of restrictions did not mention these exemptions. This suggests a stricter enforcement of the policy, which differs from previous leniencies.
The renewal of restrictions aligns with India's aspirations to emerge as a global leader in solar technology. This policy shift carries implications for the solar industry, offering opportunities for domestic manufacturers while potentially posing challenges for developers in navigating regulatory changes. As India strives to achieve ambitious renewable energy targets, the emphasis on domestic manufacturing will shape the solar sector's future trajectory.

The reinstatement of import restrictions underscores India's commitment to fostering indigenous production in the solar sector. While it presents opportunities for domestic manufacturers, navigating regulatory changes remains a challenge for developers. India's focus on local manufacturing is pivotal for achieving its ambitious renewable energy goals and shaping the future of the solar industry.
