India’s domestically manufactured solar cells cost 1.5 to two times more than Chinese imports, even after customs duties, says CRISIL Market Intelligence and Analytics. These higher prices could raise solar project capital costs by up to INR 10 million ($117,580)/MW and increase tariffs. From pv magazine India
There is no existing manufacturing capacity in India for the initial stages of the photovoltaic (PV) value chain, namely from polysilicon to wafer. For these raw materials, Indian solar manufacturers are still dependent on imports, mainly from China. Prolonged dependence on imports raises the severity of the associated risks.
The average cost of large-scale solar power projects in India fell 28.2% year-over-year (YoY) in the first quarter (Q1) of 2024, primarily due to a significant drop in module prices over the year. Since Q1 2023, large-scale solar project costs have dropped consecutively for five quarters. Q1 2024 recorded the lowest quarterly average project cost.
The significant fall in system costs has lowered the cost of capital and increased the internal rate of returns for large-scale solar projects, driving capacity additions. In Q1 2024, India achieved a significant milestone by adding over 10 GW of solar capacity in Q1 of 2024, the highest quarterly installation to date.
