The PLI Scheme for High Efficiency Solar PV Modules Scheme is being implemented in two tranches.

Under Tranche-I, Letters of Award have been issued on 11.11.2021 / 02.12.2021 to three successful bidders for setting up 8,737 MW of fully integrated solar PV manufacturing units, within outlay of Rs. 4,500 crore. Scheduled Commissioning Date for this 8,737 MW manufacturing is November/December, 2024.

One of the successful bidders has selected manufacturing site in Andhra Pradesh.

Selection of solar PV manufacturers under Tranche-II with outlay of Rs 19,500 crore, has not yet been done.

The PLI Scheme for High Efficiency Solar PV Modules has provision for Production Linked Incentive (PLI)  to  the  selected  solar  PV  module  manufacturers  for  five  years  post  commissioning,  on manufacture and sale of High Efficiency Solar PV modules. No funds have been released till date.
