India reaches 60 GW high-end solar module manufacturing capacity: AISMA
India has achieved a milestone of 60 gigawatt (GW) of installed solar module manufacturing capacity, industry body All India Solar Manufacturers Association (AISMA) said on Thursday. From less than 10 GW of low-wattage polysilicon modules making capacity in financial year 2020-21, India has scaled it up ito the current 60 GW of high-wattage and technologically advanced Mono Perc, Topcon and HJT modules manufacturing capacity, AISMA said in a statement. Hitesh Doshi, President, AISMA, said: "This is indeed a phenomenal achievement for the Indian solar manufacturing sector. Solar energy adoption is a critical component of the clean energy transition, and India's growing leadership in the space will enable the country to play a predominant role in the global renewable energy market." In line with a target to achieve net zero carbon emission by 2070, India aims to build 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, with solar energy expected to contribute to 300 GW of this capacity even
