The government needs to incentivse domestic production of solar equipment to avoid any supply crunch amid China's proposed curb on exports of key technologies of photovoltaic module manufacturing, a senior industry executive said.
China has proposed restricting exports of 12 key technologies that are used to make solar equipment, citing the need for close monitoring as these technologies are also used in aerospace, defence and other sensitive sectors.
According to Chetan Shah, Chairman and Managing Director of Solex Energy, China controls an estimated 75-90 per cent of the global solar supply chain.
If domestic cell capacity does not come up on time, the result could be a supply crunch for solar modules, project delays and pressure on tariffs, Shah told PTI.
He noted that as of June 2026, India had about 262 GW of module manufacturing capacity and only about 37 GW of cell capacity.
Speaking on the sidelines of the Renewable Energy India (REI) Expo 2026 in Greater Noida, Shah said
