India must become a manufacturing hub for photovoltaic modules and not just be traders of solar components under the Aatmanirbhar initiative, Union Minister Bhagwanth Khuba said on Thursday. Khuba, the Minister of State for New and Renewable Energy, was speaking at the Mercom India Solar Summit 2022.
“So far India was dependent on other countries (for PV modules and solar components) but under Aatmanirbhar Bharat, we should not become only traders, we have to be manufacturers. India must be a hub of it,” he said while addressing over 300 participants in a session on renewable energy.
