Heated argument
Solar technology has many unique attributes which make it one of the most preferred sources of power, particularly in India, a densely populated country with a high energy deficit - it can be rapidly deployed across most parts of the country, it is modular in nature and it is environmentally friendly.

Current affair
The wires and cables industry has moved on from being the small industry it was 20 years back, to a very large industry over the last decade. Predominantly providing challenging opportunities in the field of manufacturing, supply chain and procurement, India as a market, is gaining importance in this industry.

Our anti-dumping policy has led to imports costing around 25% less
Predominantly today, the solar industry is ruled by capital costs and the impact directly comes from the manufacturing capacity. The problem is that whatever manufacturing we have is either slightly outdated or not big enough to compete on cost.

LED there be Light!
Touted as a power starved nation, India stands out on the world map for having the highest number of people living without power. A shame in itself, the subject is further muddled up in a tug-of-war between the state and Centre.
