The government is exploring an incentive scheme to support polysilicon manufacturing, renewable energy secretary Santosh Kumar Sarangi said.Currently, the renewable energy ministry is implementing the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for 'National Programme on High Efficiency Solar PV Modules' with an outlay of ₹24,000 crore.The current scheme, in two tranches, covers a capacity of around 48 GW of modules, cells, ingot-wafers, and polysilicon. ET had earlier reported that the government was deliberating on how to support polysilicon manufacturing apart from ingot-wafers.
Government explores incentives for polysilicon manufacturing to boost solar energy production
The government is exploring a new incentive scheme for polysilicon manufacturing. This initiative aims to bolster domestic production capabilities within the sector. Currently, a production-linked incentive scheme supports solar module manufacturing. That program covers modules, cells, ingot-wafers, and polysilicon production. This new exploration follows earlier discussions on supporting polysilicon manufacturing.
