The MNRE will likely move from discussion to a formal support design for polysilicon, with industry lobbying intensifying around how much incentive money is actually on offer.
This is a meaningful industrial-policy story with direct implications for India’s clean-energy supply chain. If implemented, it could reduce import dependence and reshape the economics of solar manufacturing.

Curated summary
MNRE Secretary Santosh Kumar Sarangi said the government is weighing a support scheme to promote domestic polysilicon manufacturing. India currently imports all of its polysilicon, a key raw material for solar panels. Officials want to deepen the solar value chain and treat polysilicon as a separate industry because upstream solar manufacturing has lagged under the PLI scheme.
