India plans a production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme to develop over 10GW of domestic polysilicon manufacturing capacity, aiming to reduce reliance on Chinese imports and strengthen upstream solar PV supply chain localisation. The move supports vertical integration in solar manufacturing but faces challenges due to high capital, energy needs, and current higher polysilicon costs compared to imports.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You face the chance to build India’s first large-scale polysilicon capacity as government incentives shift focus upstream in solar manufacturing. This opens a rare chance to lead in a segment still dominated by imports but demands cracking technical and cost challenges fast.
