India will reimpose limits on imported solar energy modules, after relaxing curbs for a year, in a relief to domestic manufacturers that had complained of cheaper shipments from overseas.
The eased rules will end on March 31 and an approved list of domestic models and manufacturers will come back into effect the next day, the renewable energy ministry said in a statement on its website. The list bars imported modules from being used in the country.
The curbs are part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s effort to gain self-dependence in energy by encouraging local solar panel output.
