Govt Mandates Registration For Solar And Wind Equipment Imports

14 Oct 2025 CW Team

The Indian government has made it mandatory for importers of select products used exclusively in solar and wind energy projects to register on the Renewable Energy Equipment Import Monitoring System, effective 1 November 2025, according to a notification by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT).

The rule applies to items such as toughened (tempered) safety glass and photosensitive semiconductor devices, including photovoltaic cells used in solar power generation.

Similarly, imports of certain wind energy components — including towers, bearing housings, gears, and gearing — will also require registration on the monitoring system.

The DGFT stated that the new policy conditions will cover imports made through air cargo, sea cargo, and land routes, ensuring greater transparency and oversight in the sourcing of renewable energy equipment.

Import Restriction On Pharmaceutical Ingredient

In a separate notification, the DGFT also announced that the import of Sulfadiazine Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) with a cost, insurance, and freight (CIF) value below Rs 1,774 per kilogram will be restricted until 30 September 2026, with immediate effect.

However, exemptions will apply to advance authorisation holders, export-oriented units, and special economic zone (SEZ) entities, which will not be subject to the minimum import price (MIP) condition.

Sulfadiazine API is a key antibiotic ingredient used for treating various bacterial infections, and the restriction aims to protect domestic manufacturers from low-priced imports.

The government’s latest policy changes are designed to regulate imports, support local manufacturing, and strengthen India’s renewable and pharmaceutical industries in alignment with its Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliance) objectives.
