"China and India emerging solar equipment market pose a serious threat." 15, India, "Financial Express", a report issued the warning. The report said China Suntech, Trina Solar, Yingli, crystal families and the LDK and other solar equipment suppliers have been focused to develop the emerging Indian market. As China's solar energy equipment than the Indian price of equipment by 25% to 30% of its active involvement in the Indian industry to create a strong shock wave. "Financial Express" worried about the Indian small plants difficult to cope with intense competition.
Reported that Indian government plans to develop India into a global solar power one of the highest volume. Report published by KPMG, the Indian solar industry to 2022 is expected to attract $ 110 billion investment to create one million direct jobs, reduce the consumption of Indian coal imports 5.5 billion. Solar power generation will meet Indian national electricity demand of 7%.
Indian industry believes that solar energy equipment manufacturers from China, India, are quick to seize the market. In addition to Chinese products a price advantage, but also to provide credit services. At present, solar equipment manufacturers in India do not enjoy the protection of import duties, import taxes to zero. According to Indian statistics, China has occupied the global equipment manufacturers of solar power generation equipment market, 65%, although the Indian government to provide subsidies to solar power, but power still tend to use cheap Chinese equipment, to improve price competitiveness.
For the above, solar equipment manufacturers like the Indian alliance to deal with Chinese manufacturers. Jupiter Solar India Sharma, chief operating officer, said at least 20 Indian companies intend to jointly set up solar energy equipment industry associations to increase their own voice. Samak called on the form of subsidies to support the Government of India is still the infant industry. An Indian industry also warned recently held in New Delhi, India 2011 Renewable Energy Fair, Chinese manufacturers stand and 1 / 5, more than 1,000 megawatts of generating capacity a dozen Chinese companies, can India manufacturers combined generating capacity of less than 1000 MW.
Some foreign plant in India also plans to solar equipment manufacturers compete against Chinese companies to seek protection. A Canadian business in India, President of La Lihuo Wahlberg solar energy equipment, said India wants to avoid the solar energy industry dominated by China, it is necessary to establish a "level the playing field." Indian government must support local industry development policy , so that India can be expected in the next five years as the world's major producer of solar equipment. - 'Global Times' special correspondent in India newspaper correspondent Wang Zhen Xiang
