ALT Mercom’s Q2 2020 India Solar Market Update is out, and the numbers are in. Join Mercom’s senior leaders as they analyze the latest findings and developments in India’s solar sector over the quarter. Learn about some of the challenges we expect in the second half as projects are moved into the new year, and markets try to bounce back from COVID disruptions. We will go over the impact of the safeguard duty extension and discuss outcomes and expectations from other key duties being proposed. There will also be some positive takeaways; nearly 70% of new power capacity additions came from solar and wind in the first half of the year, and policy support and fundamentals remain strong. Our guest speakers from MNRE and SECI will bring in the policy perspective to the discussion and talk about the current environment and strategies for growth.

ALT Mercom, along with some of the leading market experts in manufacturing, BoS, rooftop solar, large-scale development, and finance, will analyze the current solar market amid COVID. The panel will discuss the recent push towards domestic manufacturing, and what it takes to develop a local manufacturing infrastructure and the government incentives that are needed to make it happen. The roundtable will also discuss the scenarios around the imminent basic customs duty, the safeguard duty extension, and their potential implications on the market, ALMM, and other hot topics.
