Amidst the ongoing US-China tariff dispute, stakeholders in the Indian solar industry are calling on the government to impose safeguard duties on Chinese imports of polysilicon, ingot, and wafers. The industry players emphasize the importance of providing incentives to promote local manufacturing and safeguard investments against Chinese dumping practices that pose a threat to India’s solar energy targets. Additionally, there is a plea for fiscal incentives and policy realignment to stimulate growth in the upstream segment of the solar industry. These calls come as the Indian solar sector continues to expand rapidly, with a growing focus on achieving energy security and reducing carbon emissions. The push for safeguard measures is seen as crucial to level the playing field for domestic solar manufacturers and ensure the long-term sustainability of the industry in India. The move is also aimed at reducing dependence on Chinese imports and promoting self-reliance in the renewable energy sector. As the government weighs its options in response to these demands, the outcome could have significant implications for the future trajectory of the solar industry in India.
