Solar equipment makers get no funds under Rs 24,000 crore PLI scheme till February end: Parliament

No funds have been disbursed to solar equipment makers under the Rs 24,000-crore Production Linked Incentive scheme as of February-end. The scheme mandates a one-year post-commissioning period before fund release. While significant manufacturing capacity has been established, upstream component production faces challenges. The government is actively working to strengthen domestic capabilities and reduce import reliance.
