Govt  forms  team  to  certify  facilities of solar power equipment makers

New Delhi: India has set up a team to certify all solar power generation equipment makers who want to do business in the world’s largest green energy market. The move aims to boost domestic manufacturing and protect its domestic companies from cheap and sub-standard imports.

Manufacturers are lining up for certification as the implementation of the new solar power generation equipment sourcing guidelines will start on 1 April.

At play is India’s renewable energy programme, which would require $80 billion in investments till 2022.
