Bidding for ₹19.5k crore Round II of solar module PLI in a week
The government is planning to invite bids within a week for the ₹19,500 crore, second tranche of the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for solar modules, renewable energy minister Indu Shekhar Chaturvedi said on Monday.
“Our module capacities have more than doubled in the last seven-and-a-half years. They are now 20 Gw, but the same cannot be said about the cells, which is 4.5 Gw,” he said, speaking at an event on Aatmanirbhar Bharat organized by the CII. But the minister indicated that it was going to change, considering the projects under PLI-1 and now PLI-2. Scheme guidelines for PLI-2 have already been published, he said.
