					</table><p>The average cost of large-scale solar projects in India fell 2% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) and 25.7% year-over-year (YoY) in the second quarter (Q2) of 2024. Since Q1 2023, large-scale solar project costs have dropped for six straight quarters, with an average fall of 6% per quarter.</p>
<p>In Q2 2024, the fall in project costs was primarily driven by the fall in module prices. Module costs accounted for 46.8% of the solar project cost in the quarter and witnessed a 3.6% per MW drop QoQ.</p>
<p>The findings were published in Mercom India Research&#8217;s recently released <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/product/q2-2024-india-solar-market-update" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Q2 2024 India Solar Market Quarterly Update.</a></p>

<p>Indian manufacturers have been listing their modules both before and after the reimposition of the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM). As a result of increased competition among ALMM-authorized manufacturers, prices have remained stable.</p>
<p>The Indian mono PERC modules&#8217; average selling price (ASP) fell 2.6% QoQ and 40.7% YoY.</p>
<p>However, due to higher demand compared to <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/shortage-of-india-made-projects-with-dcr-mandate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">supply</a> and added production and bill of material (BoM) costs, DCR (domestic content requirement) module prices were 45.9% higher than non-DCR variants.</p>
<p>India <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/indias-solar-cell-and-module-imports-drop-sharply-in-q2-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">imported</a> solar cells and modules amounting to over $774.9 million (~₹64.6 billion) in Q2 2024, a drop of 61.4% QoQ and 16.4% YoY. Solar cells accounted for 45% of the quarter&#8217;s imports.</p>
<p>Since the reimposition of the ALMM order on April 1, 2024, developers have started procuring India-made modules, leading to a sharp decline in solar module imports. Q2 2024 saw the lowest imports of cells and modules by value since Q1 2023.</p>
<p>The ASPs of Chinese monocrystalline (mono) Passivated Emitter Rear Contact (PERC) modules fell 11.8% QoQ and 50% YoY due to oversupply in China.</p>
<p>The recent increase in metal prices for steel, aluminum, and copper also impacted project costs in Q2 2024.</p>
<p>In a quarter-over-quarter comparison, power conditioning unit costs fell 1.4%, and mounting structures costs dropped 1.9%. The cost of balance of system (BoS) components remained unchanged.</p>
<p>In Q2 2024, solar <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/india-15-gw-solar-1h-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">installations</a> rose 170% year-over-year to 5 GW from 1.8 GW. Large-scale installations totaled 4.3 GW in the quarter.</p>
<p>As of June 2024, India&#8217;s cumulative installed solar <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/india-15-gw-solar-1h-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">capacity</a>, including rooftop solar installations, stood at 87.2 GW.</p>
