PLI scheme for solar PV to attract Rs 14k cr investment

22 Feb 2021 CW Team

Addressing a webinar on Budget announcements, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said there is a need for reforms that can enable better last-mile connectivity that, in turn, will unlock better reach in installations.

The performance linked incentive (PLI) scheme was introduced by the central government in March last year to boost domestic manufacturing and cut down on import bills. The scheme aims to give companies incentives on incremental sales from products manufactured in domestic units. Apart from inviting foreign companies to India, the scheme also aims to encourage local companies to set up or expand existing manufacturing units.

The production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for high efficiency solar photovoltaic (PV) modules will lead to investments of over Rs 14,000 crore to create a manufacturing capacity of 10,000 MW. As per the PLI outlay, the government will commit to invest Rs 4,500 crore with an intention to boost domestic manufacturing and help enhance demand in such components as EVA, solar glass, backsheet, and junction boxes.
