“…For instance, government policy provided the same structure of incentives to solar manufacturers that was provided in the case of industry development including 1) soft loans for plants and machinery used by manufacturers; concession rates on customs duties for the import of equipment and materials used in SPV manufacturing (10 percent on wafers, 30 percent on solar cells, modules and system, 20 percent on capital equipments); and exemption from excise duty on most SPV products and sales tax in several states in the country (Sastry 1997;Bhargava 2001). Unlike ICT and biotechnology, there was no specific program for developing human resources and entrepreneurial skills in the Indian SPV industry.…”

The objective of this paper is to understand different phases of solar photovoltaic (SPV) technology in India and the interplay of scientific, technological, economic, and political factors in each of the phases. There are four distinct phases. In the first-phase , SPV technology was recognized as an important source of energy for countries like India. In the second phase (1971)(1972)(1973)(1974)(1975)(1976)(1977)(1978)(1979)(1980)(1981)(1982)(1983)(1984)(1985)(1986)(1987)(1988)(1989)(1990), the oil crisis led to the formulation of new scientific and technological initiatives and programs in SPV, but due to a lack of political commitment the initiatives disintegrated. In the third phase (1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003), several factors seemed to have undermined the development of SPV sector. Currently in the fourth phase (2003 to the present), India has virtually lost the race for development of photovoltaic technology. Within the context of climate change and resource constraint, India has reformulated its strategy which has taken the form of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission Plan (JNNSM).This paper examines how JNNSM influences indigenous attempts in photovoltaic technology development. The paper shows how scientific, technological, economic and political factors have contributed to discontinuities in the development of the technology. 302Devaraj and Haribabu

“…The industry produced 11 MW p of modules in 1999, having a turnover of about US$ 100 million. 2 The national program that was initiated in 1975, is believed to be one of the largest demonstration PV programs in the world today. The cumulative output of the Indian PV industry is about 58 MW p .…”

Growth of the Indian photovoltaic industry, which produces 58 MW p at present, is in¯uenced by global market trends, owing to the cost of the technology. It is also driven by local government initiatives and policies. The current structure of the market and its various segments is discussed, with the objective of studying the overall growth potential. A growth of 250 MW p in the next ten years is projected, with annual production reaching 35 MW p by 2010. In order to achieve the projected market volume, speci®c barriers related to technology and market development are identi®ed, and enabling mechanisms are suggested. The Indian experience of barriers to adoption of PV technology, and their removal, are discussed.
