BHEL Proposes For Manufacturing PV Modules

BHEL Board has recently approved, in-principle, a proposal for manufacturing PV modules.

BHEL has decided to set up a total integrated plant starting from poly-silicon to photo-voltaic (PV) systems including silicon wafer, solar cell and module, involving an investment of approximately Rs. 2,000 Crore.

However, as the indigenous manufacturing capacities set up by other domestic manufacturers are being grossly under-utilized due to cheaper imports from China, BHEL's investment plans were put on hold too.
