As per the data submitted by the govt in Parliament in February 2023, India imported about $11.17 billion worth solar cells and modules in the past five years. And until January of 2023-24, data from the Ministry of Commerce’s Import-Export showed that China accounted for 53% of India’s solar cell imports, and 63% of solar PV modules.
And until January of 2023-24, data from the Ministry of Commerce’s Import-Export showed that China accounted for 53% of India’s solar cell imports, and 63% of solar PV modules. Why is China a leading exporter? China was the most cost-competitive location to manufacture all components of the solar PV supply chains.
Imports to India for solar modules (or cells) are on an upward trend for 2021. The value of solar imports in India for 2020 was far less than what it imported in the following years. Among all the importing countries for the imports of solar cells, China stands at the top position as the solar cell importing country for India.
While India manufactures the solar panels in its own country, it seems it still relies on the heavy imports of solar cells from other countries, most specifically from the neighbouring country—China. To increase the manufacturing of its own solar panels, India needs to shed down its reliance on imports.
