India's Rs 24,000 crore PLI scheme for solar PV modules has not yet disbursed funds, as no projects have completed the mandatory one-year post-commissioning period. Award letters for 48,337 MW of manufacturing capacity have been issued, with 4 GW commissioned in October 2025.

Currently, approximately 30 GW of solar PV module capacity, 10.5 GW of solar cell capacity, and 2 GW of ingot-wafer capacity have been established. Delays in upstream polysilicon and wafer manufacturing are attributed to limited domestic experience and a concentrated global supply chain. The government aims to promote vertically integrated manufacturing and reduce reliance on imports.
