					</table><p>In November 2020, the central government approved the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) program for ten critical sectors to enhance India&#8217;s manufacturing capabilities and exports under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative.</p>
<p>Solar has made its way to the list with an outlay of ₹45 billion (~$605 million), which was increased to ₹195 billion (~$2.61 billion) in the 2022 budget announcement. The PLI program for solar was instituted to establish a larger manufacturing base for solar modules by fully integrating manufacturing units from polysilicon to solar modules and reducing the renewable energy sector&#8217;s import dependence.</p>
<p>In the IREDA auction to set up a manufacturing capacity of 10 GW of modules, Reliance New Energy Solar, Adani Infrastructure, and Shirdi Sai Electricals <a href="https://mercomindia.com/module-pli-auction-winners-list-jindal-out-adani-in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">emerged</a> winners.</p>
<p>Mercom is hosting &#8216;<a href="https://mercomindia.com/event/solar-summit-2022/register/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Mercom India Solar Summit 2022</strong></a><strong>,&#8217;</strong> an exclusive event on <strong>July 28-29</strong> in New Delhi where key stakeholders across the solar sector will participate.</p>
<p>The summit will address critical issues, opportunities, and emerging trends in the industry, including the government&#8217;s push for local manufacturing, its aggressive solar installation goal, supply chains, technology, financing, and other critical issues.</p>
<p>In one of the sessions titled &#8216;<strong>Plans and Progress of Vertically Scaling Solar Manufacturing in India</strong>,&#8217; scheduled for <strong>July 29, 2022</strong>, panelists will discuss timelines and details for cell, wafer, and polysilicon manufacturing and the technologies planned for production beyond polycrystalline and mono PERC.</p>
<p>The panel will have Sujoy Ghosh, Vice President &amp; Country, Managing Director &#8211; India, <a href="https://www.firstsolar.com/en-IN" target="_blank" rel="noopener">First Solar</a>; and Rahul Bhutiani, Head of Sales &amp; Marketing, <a href="https://www.adanisolar.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adani Solar</a>. Priya Sanjay, Managing Director, Mercom India, will moderate the session.</p>
<p>In May, MNRE <a href="https://mercomindia.com/production-linked-incentive-program-solar-module-manufacturing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued</a> draft guidelines to implement the second phase (Tranche II) of the PLI program under the &#8216;National Program on High-Efficiency Solar Modules.&#8217; According to the guidelines, ₹120 billion (~$1.54 billion) has been reserved for companies setting up vertically integrated capacities of polysilicon, wafers, cells, and modules. An allocation of ₹45 billion (~$580.84 million) has been made for those setting up wafers, cells, and modules capacity, and ₹30 billion (~$387.23 million) for cells and modules capacity.</p>
