Hong Kong-based quality assurance company Sinovoltaics has published its India Solar Supply Chain Map for the fourth quarter of 2024, indicating 58.4 GW of module capacity, with another 60 GW to be added between 2027 and 2030, making a total of 119 GW possible.
The analysts pointed out the “Make in India“And production-related incentive (PLI) scheme as the main drivers of the expansion. They noted that the maps are based on announced initiatives being followed by the Sinovoltaics team.
In terms of technology trends, the report said most of the production is focused on passivated emitter back contact (PERC) technology, with a “clear shift towards tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon)” underway.
Nominal cell production capacity is 13.6 GW, with an announced increase of 47.2 GW over the next three to five years, for a total of 61.6 GW in 2027/2030. The reported block capacity figure was 4 GW, with 28 GW announced for the 2027/2030 period, according to analysts.
They also highlighted the addition of Maharashtra-based Luxra Solar India’s plan to add 2 GW of module manufacturing by 2027/2030, as well as five fewer manufacturing sites compared to the previous report due to the decision to phase out building integrated PV (BIPV). ) module manufacturers.
The report is free to download.
The Sinovoltaics solar supply chain maps, which cover manufacturing centers in East Asia, Europe and North America, are published quarterly and are intended to support traceability research. They include details on size, location, ownership and capacity, including PV modules, cells, wafers, blocks, polysilicon and metallurgical grade silicon production sites. The details are based on press releases and data collected by Sinovoltaics.
