ET WLF 2025: Govt pushes local manufacturing for renewable energy growth

The government is working on multiple fronts to support domestic manufacturing of renewable energy equipment for capacity addition as well as creating its domestic demand, renewable energy secretary Santosh Kumar Sarangi said.

Speaking at a panel discussion on ‘Advancing India’s Green Transition: Aligning Policy, Innovation and Industry for a Net-zero Future’, moderated by ET’s Shilpa Samant, Sarangi said apart from the production-linked incentives (PLI) schemes, which include solar cells, ingot-wafers and polysilicon, the renewable energy ministry has brought an approved list of models and manufacturers (ALMM) for modules and cells, and for wind power equipment.
