Key Growth Drivers for the Industry
- Government commitments :
Reduce the emissions intensity of GDP by 33% -35% below the 2005 levels and increase share of non-fossil fuel in total capacity to ~40% by 2030 - Robust Demand :
60 solar cities approved and $1.3 bn allocated for setting up 50 solar parks of 40GW by 2020.
Moreover as India has lowest per capita energy consumption so as the industry will grow energy requirement and consumption will increase.

| Solar PV Cells | 3 | 26 |
| Solar PV Modules | 10 | 26 |
| Polysilicon | 0 | 26 |
| Solar Inverters | 5 | 26 |
Annual requirement is 26 GW
Annual gap will reduced by 10GW incoming years by introduction of high efficiency modules production in India and due to anti dumping duty.
