NEW DELHI: The All India Solar Industries Association (AISIA) on Thursday urged the Centre to impose at least 50 per cent BCD (basic custom duty) on solar equipment in order to ensure the survival of domestic manufacturers.
In a statement, the industry body said that following the coronavirus-related disruption, the Indian solar manufacturing sector has witnessed a major downfall with exports witnessing a decline. It also added that this is also the time when the government needs to give impetus to the Prime Minister’s Vocal for Local movement.
