Overall, the ranking saw more reshuffling this year, with growth and execution outweighing past positions on the leaderboard. New players are gaining ground, while mid-sized companies hold steady, reflecting a more competitive market with wider participation. 
With competitive tariffs putting pressure on margins, trackers are increasingly viewed as essential for optimizing project performance, improving return on investment, and ensuring long-term operational viability. 
In an interview with Mercom India, Andrew Worden, Founder &amp; CEO at GameChange Solar, <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/indias-geography-demands-a-practical-approach-to-solar-tracker-design-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">explained </a>that solar tracker adoption in India has evolved from a niche use to the default choice for utility‑scale projects, driven by the need for higher energy yield at lower cost. He added that their systems are engineered to withstand the country’s diverse geography and climatic challenges, including high winds in Rajasthan, extreme heat in Gujarat, and irregular terrain across project sites. 
In September 2025, the U.S. decision to double Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum to 50% had <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/us-move-to-double-tariffs-on-steel-and-aluminum-could-hurt-indian-exports" target="_blank" rel="noopener">raised</a> concerns about higher costs for renewable energy equipment. With Indian steel and aluminum exports falling squarely within the new tariff zone, industry experts cautioned that pricing pressures could undermine competitiveness and margins.

Sungrow, FIMER, and Sineng Electric <a href="https://mercomindia.com/sungrow-fimer-sineng-major-solar-inverter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">were</a> the top inverter suppliers in the first half (1H) of CY 2020.
In the Budget 2021, the Finance Minister proposed to <a href="https://mercomindia.com/budget-2021-%e2%82%b910-billion-seci/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">raise</a> the customs duty on solar inverters from 5% to 20% to encourage domestic production. The government believes that by hiking the duties and increasing the cost of imports, manufacturers will be incentivized to manufacture in India. Recognizing the growing demand for inverters, Chinese manufacturers, including <a href="https://mercomindia.com/sungrow-3-gw-solar-inverter-manufacturing-unit-india/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sungrow</a>, and <a href="https://mercomindia.com/chinas-tbea-launch-2-gw-inverter-factory-bengaluru/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TBEA</a> have already opened manufacturing units in India.
In December last year, Mercom <a href="https://mercomindia.com/developers-prefer-string-inverters-mercom-webinar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hosted</a> a webinar to discuss how solar inverter technologies impact project performance. The webinar shed light on the technological trends pushing the market and how Indian developers decide which inverters would be used for their projects. Although inverters account for 5% of the total project cost, their impact on project performance, stability, and the levelized cost of energy is substantial, making quality and technology the prime movers. Developers who participated in the webinar commented that bifacial modules with string inverters are the future trend.
