India's solar manufacturers seek duty on Chinese imports

India's solar module manufacturing has reached self-sufficiency. However, domestic producers of polysilicon, wafers, and ingots are now at risk from Chinese imports, which they claim are being dumped in the market. To address this, these manufacturers are requesting a safeguard duty on Chinese supplies. They are also advocating for policies that would require the use of locally-made materials in solar production. The Indian Solar Manufacturers Association has highlighted the need for financial support, including subsidies and import duty exemptions, to protect and promote domestic production of solar components.
