The PLI scheme of India for highly efficient solar panels has led to 18.5 GW PV module production capacity from 30 June 2025. It also has 9.7 GW in solar cell capacity and 2.2 GW Ingot-Wafer capacity.
State Minister for new and renewable energy and power Shripad Yesso Naik shared the figures in parliament.
The government has granted approximately 48.3 GW of PV module production capacity under Tranches I and II of the Pli scheme, which aims to build a domestic solar production base and to be dependent on imported panels.
The minister said that the government issued the awarding letters under Tranche I of the PLI scheme to three companies for 8,737 GW of fully integrated production capacity for solar PV module. Under Tranche II, the eleven business capacity has granted 39.6 GW of full or partially integrated production. The selected companies can establish their plants anywhere in India.
The minister noted that some segments of the awarded projects have become operational.
“According to the approved list of models and manufacturers (Almm) and receive information from the manufacturers, the capacities for the production of solar energy installed under Pli-schedule, such as 30.06.2025, include 18.5 GW Solar Module, 9.7 GW Solar Cell and Solo-Var-Wafer. -Module production capacity, “Naik said in parliament.
The cumulative installed solar PV module -Production capacity of India reached 91.6 GW as of 30 June 2025, according to the Almm. With this considerable increase in domestic production capacity, the import of solar module fell from $ 3,363.21 million in tax 2021-22 to $ 2,151.75 million in tax 2024-25.
