India module prices fall in line with international prices
But domestically manufactured solar modules still cost 45-50% more than Chinese products because of import duty on cells and higher cost of domestic manufacturing.
Unveiling India’s carbon credit revolution: From local initiatives to global impact
The Indian carbon credit system, operating under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), stands ahead in several aspects.
Deployment trumps solar manufacturing in EU priorities
A lack of clear policy support, raw material dependency, and higher production costs are inhibiting the localization of European solar manufacturing, despite strong demand.
Driving renewable energy adoption: Challenges and opportunities
India’s robust economic growth translates to rising demand for energy. This demand provides a substantial market for renewable energy investments, encouraging firms to venture into this sector. However, as the nation marches ahead in RE adoption, it needs to overcome challenges like high capital costs and inadequate grid infrastructure.
