India restrict imports of solar panels unfavorable international companies grab market



    With economic development, as well as the demand for clean energy synchronization, India plans to add 20,000 in 2020 megawatts (MWp) of installed solar capacity. Indian government intends to grant power plants in the next few years $ 20 billion of funds, however, since April of any solar panels imported from overseas manufacturers will not get subsidies.

    International solar panel manufacturers only possible to obtain a small portion of subsidy pie way is a joint venture with Indian vendors in India, establish local panel manufacturing plant. Few American manufacturers have also have a desire.

    Locke said, can be understood India hopes to support the local solar industry's efforts, however, to achieve this purpose, there are many possible ways to exclude the use of imported panel is not the best way. Including the United States in the way proposed tax incentives and subsidies, etc. These methods can encourage overseas enterprises to set up production lines in India.

    U.S. President Barack Obama (BarackObama) 2010 India visit in November, once the prohibition of imports of solar panels overseas concerns, then part of India's foreign policy is still allowed to manufacture panels. However, since the beginning of April, a total ban on the import of overseas panel, so this issue has considerable urgency.

    Locke is the second Obama visited India after a U.S. Cabinet officials, called for the strengthening of trade between the United States and India relations and hopes to open more export of sensitive products, such as civil nuclear energy, civil aviation, security products. From 2002 to 2009, the U.S. exports to India grew four times, amounted to $ 16.4 billion.

    Locke visited India said that despite India since 1991 remain open after the liberalization of the economy, reducing tariffs on many products, and to allow more foreign investment, but Locke that India needs in the economy, there are still many ongoing liberalization of items. Also participating Indian Commerce Minister AnandSharma pointed out that in terms of policy, there is a fast break Prudential easy.

    As previously that the US-India bilateral cooperation in the field of solar energy, so the friction even more difficult recently. India's Commerce Department officials confirmed Locke does raise the question of mppt solar charge controller , but declined to comment on whether India will therefore revise policy.

    India's leading manufacturer of solar panels as well as MoserBaerIndia TataBPSolarIndia, which is TataPower and BPSolarInternational joint venture, the two solar panel manufacturers occupy the bulk of India's domestic solar plan. If the April schedule does not allow foreign imports panel for local Indian industry's development will be very good news.

    December RahulKhullar Indian Commerce Secretary said that India slight chance of policy change. Khullar accused the U.S. of double standards, the mainland market for wind power in the face of similar restrictions, the United States did not protest. But Locke said that the U.S. wind power successfully requires removing barriers to the mainland, allowing the industry's overseas operations.

    In addition to solar panels, the international company in the Indian market faced a series of policy barriers. Technology companies, for example, BlackBerry (BlackBerry) maker RIM, and Google are facing increasingly stringent Indian regulatory authorities. Retailer Wal-Mart (WalMart) has always wanted to enter India, but because of the delay in opening up India's official foreign direct investment and no result.
