NEW DELHI: India will encourage local manufacturers of solar power equipment and restrict imports to help domestic industry grow in the competitive environment, minister for new and renewable energy Farooq Abdullah said on Wednesday.
The approach would be reflected in the second phase of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission(JNNSM), he said at a conference organised by Assocham, an industry body.
Will this effort jump-start the local solar industry or generate inefficiencies? Is your organization investing in Solar? What are the current bottle-necks?
