§7Pros and cons

Merits

  • Targets 48 GW of fully integrated capacity with investment commitments of nearly ₹52,942 crore (PIB Feb 2026).
  • Domestic module supply helps solar EPC firms and component suppliers.

Demerits

  • Bid-based, GW-scale: only very large players could take part (MNRE).
  • PLI pays only on incremental sales over a base year, so a new or small firm with no base-year sales or below the thresholds gets nothing (scheme design, PIB 2026).
