## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY AND POWER

(SHRI R.K. SINGH)

- (a) The State-wise details of solar and wind energy installed in the country during the last three years and the current year are given in Annexure-I .
- (b) The district-wise details of solar and wind energy projects installed in the State of Rajasthan are given in Annexure-II .
- (c) In line with the Hon'ble Prime Minister's announcement at the recently concluded CoP26, the Government is committed to achieve 500 GW of installed electricity capacity in the country from non-fossil fuel sources, including solar energy, by the year 2030. For achieving this target, Government has taken following initiatives:
-  Declaration of trajectory for Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) up to the year 2022;
-  Permitting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) up to 100 percent under the automatic route;
-  Waiver of Inter State Transmission System (ISTS) charges for inter-state sale of solar and wind power for projects to be commissioned by 30th June 2025;
-  Setting up of solar parks to provide land and transmission to RE developers on a plug and play basis,
-  Schemes such as Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM), Solar Rooftop Phase II, 12000 MW CPSU Scheme Phase II, etc,
-  Laying new transmission lines and creating new sub-station capacity for evacuation of renewable power under Green Energy Corridor Scheme.
-  Notification of standards for deployment of solar photovoltaic system/devices;
-  Setting up of Project Development Cell for attracting and facilitating investments;
-  Standard Bidding Guidelines for tariff based competitive bidding for procurement of power from Grid Connected Solar PV and Wind Projects;
-  Government has issued orders that power shall be dispatched against Letter of Credit (LC) or advance payment to ensure timely payment by distribution licensees to RE generators; and
-  Launch of Green Term Ahead Market  (GTAM) to facilitate sale/purchase of Renewable Energy including Solar power through exchanges.
- (d)  In  order  to  incentivize  domestic  manufacturing  of  solar  PV  cells  and  modules,  the Government has taken the following steps:
- (i) Modified Special Incentive Package Scheme (M-SIPS) Scheme of Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology: The scheme mainly provides subsidy for capital expenditure  20% for investments in Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and 25% in non-SEZs. The Scheme was open to receive applications till 31st December, 2018.
- (ii)  In  order  to  enhance  India's  manufacturing  capabilities  and  exports,  on  28.04.2021, Ministry  of  New  &  Renewable  Energy  (MNRE)  has  issued  the  Scheme  Guidelines  for Production  Linked  Incentive  Scheme  'National  Programme  on  High  Efficiency  Solar  PV Modules,  with  an  outlay  of  Rs.  4,500  crores.  The  Scheme  has  provisions  for  supporting setting  up  of  integrated  manufacturing  units  of  high  efficiency  solar  PV  modules  by providing Production Linked Incentive (PLI) on sales of such solar PV  modules.
- (iii)  Preference  to  'Make  in  India'  in  Public  Procurement  in  Renewable  Energy  Sector: Ministry  of  New  &  Renewable  Energy  (MNRE)  vide  its  Order  No.  283/22/2019-GRID SOLAR dated 09.02.2021, has inter-alia, prescribed that in public procurement of items in respect of which there is sufficient local capacity and local competition, only Class-I local supplier shall be eligible to bid. Class-I local supplier means a supplier or service provider, whose goods, services or works offered for procurement, has local content equal to or more than  50%.  Solar  PV  modules  are  one  of  the  products  identified  as  having  sufficient  local capacity and competition.
- (iv)  Domestic  Content  Requirement  (DCR):  Under  some  of  the  current  schemes  of  the Ministry  of  New  &  Renewable  Energy  (MNRE),  namely  CPSU  Scheme  Phase-II,  PMKUSUM  and  Grid-connected  Rooftop  Solar  Programme  Phase-II,  wherein  government subsidy is given, it has been mandated to source solar PV cells and modules from domestic sources.
- (v)  Imposition  of  Basic  Customs  Duty  on  import  of  solar  PV  cells  &  modules:  The Government has announced imposition of Basic Customs Duty (BCD) on import of solar PV cells and modules with effect from 01.04.2022.
- (vi) Discontinuation of Customs Duty Concession benefits: Ministry of Finance (Department of  Revenue)  vide  its  Gazette  Notification  No.  7/2021-Customs  dated  01.02.2021,  has rescinded its earlier Notification No. 1/2011-Customs dated 06.01.2011 thereby withdrawing the benefit of concessional customs duty on the items imported for initial setting up of the solar power projects with effect from 02.02.2021.
