In India, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) makes it mandatory to use Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) modules for certain solar power projects to avail of subsidies. Here are the reasons:
DCR modules
1. Promoting Domestic Manufacturing: By making DCR modules compulsory, the government aims to promote domestic solar module manufacturing, creating jobs and stimulating economic growth.
2.Reducing Dependence on Imports: India has been heavily reliant on imported solar modules, mainly from China. By promoting domestic manufacturing, the government seeks to reduce this dependence and enhance energy security.
3.Quality and Reliability: DCR modules are manufactured in India, and their quality and reliability are ensured through stringent testing and certification processes.
4.Supporting Make in India Initiative: The mandatory use of DCR modules aligns with the Indian government's "Make in India" initiative, which aims to encourage domestic manufacturing and promote self-reliance.
5.Creating a Level Playing Field: By making DCR modules compulsory, the government creates a level playing field for domestic manufacturers, allowing them to compete with international players.
To avail of subsidies, solar power project developers must use DCR modules for:
- Rooftop solar projects under the Rooftop Solar Programme
- Solar power projects under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM)
- Other government-backed solar initiatives
By promoting domestic manufacturing and reducing dependence on imports, the Indian government aims to create a sustainable and self-reliant solar industry.
