The “Make in India” initiative has significantly influenced the solar energy sector, driving rapid growth in solar panel manufacturing across India. Launched by the Government of India to boost domestic production, this campaign encourages local manufacturing, reduces dependency on imports, and supports a self-reliant renewable energy ecosystem.
Boost to Domestic Manufacturing
Under the Make in India program, several solar panel manufacturers in India have expanded their production capacities and adopted advanced technologies to meet global standards. This push has created a strong industrial base for solar components, especially solar cells, modules, and inverters, and has attracted both local and foreign investments in solar manufacturing facilities.
Reduced Import Dependency
India earlier relied heavily on imported solar panels, mainly from China & Vietnam. The Make in India solar panels movement has helped reduce this dependence by promoting indigenous production. With incentives like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme, more manufacturers are setting up fully integrated solar manufacturing units within the country.
Job Creation and Economic Growth
The initiative has opened up new opportunities in manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and R&D, leading to job creation across multiple sectors. The growth of solar panel manufacturers in India has also contributed to local economies and skill development programs.
Strengthening India’s Renewable Goals
By producing solar panels in India, the country is taking major steps toward achieving its ambitious renewable energy targets — including installing 500 GW of renewable capacity by 2030. Locally made solar modules ensure sustainable growth, affordability, and long-term energy security.
This initiative, especially in the solar sector, represents India’s shift from being a solar importer to becoming a global solar manufacturing hub. With APS supporting this initiative, Indian-made solar panels are not only boosting local industry but are also optimized to deliver reliable performance in India’s unique climate, empowering households and businesses to embrace clean energy confidently.
Our locally manufactured solar panels provide excellent efficiency, a long-term warranty, and trusted support from our in-house experts.
