<p>The report showed that cumulatively, FIMER India was the largest solar inverter supplier as of June 2020.</p>
<p>The government has <a href="https://mercomindia.com/basic-customs-duty-solar-cells-modules/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">announced</a> plans to curb solar imports to save foreign exchange and bring in foreign direct investment to boost domestic manufacturing by levying a basic customs duty (BCD) on solar cells, modules, and solar inverters.</p>
<p>However, when it comes to solar inverters, most current suppliers are global players who have set up manufacturing facilities in India. Unlike module manufacturers, there are hardly any local Indian manufacturers of solar inverters with a sizable market share. Mercom recently <a href="https://mercomindia.com/basic-customs-duty-solar-inverters/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">wrote</a> about how the government needs to incentivize domestic component manufacturing before levying duties.</p>
<p>In July, The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy <a href="https://mercomindia.com/deadline-bis-certification-solar-inverters-extended-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">extended</a> the deadline for the self-certification of solar inverters to December 31, 2020, in light of the disruption caused by the COVID-19 crisis.</p>
<p>One of the important points <a href="https://mercomindia.com/its-lcoe-adopting-module-mercom-webinar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">discussed</a> in Mercom’s recent webinar was the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification mandate by the Indian government that has been weighing on the industry. Participants opined that this mandate had left the Indian solar sector at least three or six months behind when it comes to adopting the latest technology. They agreed that this has hindered technological innovation and that the government needs to encourage the industry to worry less about costs and focus on adopting the latest technology.

Sungrow, FIMER, Sineng Were Major Solar Inverter Suppliers to India in 1H 2020

<p>ReNew Power, NLC India, and Azure Power emerged as the top utility-scale solar project developers in India in terms of installed capacity in the calendar year (CY) 2019, according to Mercom’s recently released report: <a href="https://mercomindia.com/product/mercom-india-solar-market-leaderboard-2020-market-shares-profiles" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">India Solar Market Leaderboard 2020</a>. Together, these three developers accounted for nearly 35% of total large-scale installations in 2019.</p>
<p>The top ten utility-scale project developers in 2019 accounted for approximately 70% of installed capacity. Total large-scale capacity additions amounted to 6.2 GW, of which the top ten developers contributed about 4.3 GW. Large-scale solar installations represented 85% of total installations, and rooftop solar made up the remaining 15%.</p>
<p>While three companies installed more than 500 MW, none of the developers installed more than a GW in a year when utility-scale solar installations declined year-over-year (YoY) by 7%.</p>
<p><a href="https://mercomindia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Top-Utility-scale-Developers-in-India-2019-CY.png"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19069" src="https://mercomindia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Top-Utility-scale-Developers-in-India-2019-CY.png" alt="Top Utility-scale Developers in India 2019 (CY)" width="352" height="272" srcset="https://cms.mercomindia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Top-Utility-scale-Developers-in-India-2019-CY.png 352w, https://cms.mercomindia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Top-Utility-scale-Developers-in-India-2019-CY-300x232.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 352px) 100vw, 352px" /></a></p>
<p>India’s solar installations, including both rooftop and large-scale recorded in the calendar year 2019, stood at around 7.3 GW, a 12% decline YoY, and the country’s cumulative installed solar capacity rose to 35.7 GW.</p>
<p>According to the report, <a href="https://www.adani.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Adani</a>, ACME Solar, and ReNew Power were the top three utility-scale solar project developers in terms of overall cumulative installed capacity as of December 2019. Three developers in India have installed more than 2 GW each, and another five developers have installed more than 1 GW of large-scale projects each.</p>
<p>In terms of the utility-scale project pipeline, Azure Power had the largest development pipeline followed by SB Energy, NTPC, ACME Solar, and ReNew Power. Three developers have a project pipeline of more than 2 GW, and four developers have a pipeline of over 1 GW each.</p>
<p>In the first half of 2019 (1H 2019), <a href="https://www.azurepower.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Azure Power</a> was the top project developer, according to Mercom’s <a href="https://mercomindia.com/product/mercom-india-solar-market-leaderboard-1h-2019/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">India Market Leaderboard 1H 2019</a>.</p>
<p>India’s cumulative large-scale installation capacity reached approximately 31.3 GW by the end of 2019. Land acquisition, transmission, and successfully acquiring approvals remain a challenge to commission large-scale projects on time.</p>
<p>In 2019, Karnataka was the top state for solar installations, followed by Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu. Karnataka accounted for 29% of the total installed solar capacity in 2019.</p>
