NEW DELHI, March 18 (Reuters) - India is proposing that clean energy firms use only locally made solar ingots and wafers from June 2028, the country's renewable energy ministry said on Wednesday, in a move aimed at curbing Chinese imports.

With this, the South Asian country is looking to ensure the usage of domestically made components across the entire solar panel manufacturing chain.

India currently has a manufacturing capacity of about 2 gigawatt (GW) for ingots and wafers.

Companies including Waaree Energies WAAN.NS, Tata Power TTPW.NS and Indosol Solar IDOS.NS have proposed billions of rupees of investments to build renewable manufacturing capacity as India aims to double its non-fossil fuel-based power capacity to 500 GW by 2030.

The government has already mandated the usage of locally assembled solar panels in state-run projects even though components like cells, wafers, ingots and polysilicon could be imported.

India currently relies entirely on China for its imports of cells, ingots, wafers and poly silicon for solar panels.

The country has also directed the use of domestically made solar cells from June 2026.

Sept 26 (Reuters) - Shares of India's Waaree Energies WAAN.NS fell 4.5% to 3,288.9 rupees on Friday after U.S. customs officials said they were investigating if the solar panels maker sidestepped tariffs on Chinese-made cells and panels by labeling them as made in India.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a memo on Friday that there was reasonable suspicion that Waaree had failed to label some of its imported products as subject to antidumping and countervailing duties Washington has imposed for years.

The agency said it was taking steps to protect U.S. revenues, such as requiring cash deposits from the renewable energy firm while the investigation is ongoing.

Waaree did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.

Shares of the company have risen 37% since their trading debut in October 2024.

MUMBAI, Sept 24 (Reuters Breakingviews) - The American sun is burning Indian exporters. The United States is investigating a dumping complaint against solar firms, including Waaree Energies WAAN.NS and a unit of Adani Enterprises ADEL.NS. It could result in triple-digit tariffs on the industry, which sends almost all its $2 billion of exports a year stateside. It speaks to the limits of New Delhi’s Make-in-India initiative and the dangers of chasing the China-plus-one opportunity.

Four years ago, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a 240 billion rupees ($2.7 billion) incentive scheme to build a solar module manufacturing ecosystem in India. It was part of a wider initiative to reduce his country's dependence on Chinese imports. As a result, domestic cell production capacity nearly tripled to 25 gigawatts during the year to the end of March, and exports surged.

India's success is now a problem, however. The U.S. International Trade Commission last month accepted a petition by the Alliance for American Solar Manufacturing and Trade to investigate whether shipments of solar photovoltaic cells from India, Indonesia and Laos are hurting U.S.-based manufacturers. An earlier complaint by the industry body, which counts First Solar FSLR.O and South Korea's Hanwha Group-backed Qcells as members, resulted in the United States applying duties of up to 3521% on Southeast Asian solar exports. Those went into effect in April. The latest petition alleges 43 India-based companies have benefited from domestic subsidies and earn "dumping margins" of up to 214%. That indicates the likely upper limit for how high any punitive tariffs might go.

India's exports to the U.S. rose as other countries got locked out of the world's largest economy. But India's own goods are also uncompetitive against Chinese products coming into the South Asian country, which remains a top importer of Chinese solar cells. This problem will ease once an official mandate on local sourcing kicks in next year.

Indian exporters may now seek out other overseas markets, but their best hope is to find more local customers. Currently, India's manufacturing capacity for solar panels exceeds its domestic demand. New Delhi is using subsidies to push farmers to adopt solar power, and a boom in energy-intensive data centres may also result in higher orders.

Yet some Indian companies are also setting up production in the United States: Waaree began making modules in Texas in January, and Vikram Solar VIKO.NS is evaluating similar plans. That is a logical outcome to the current mess. But it is also far removed from the manufacturing dream India set out to achieve.

CONTEXT NEWS

The U.S. International Trade Commission voted on August 29 to proceed with an investigation into whether solar cells imported from India, Laos and Indonesia are stifling domestic manufacturing.

The trade authority acted on a petition brought in July by industry group Alliance for American Solar Manufacturing and Trade, which accused companies from the three countries of violating trade laws and sought the imposition of anti-dumping and countervailing duties on them.

SINGAPORE/NEW DELHI, Aug 28 (Reuters) - High U.S. tariffs and potential anti-dumping duties on Indian solar panel exports will exacerbate a supply glut in India next year as domestic project bidding slows, according to industry officials and analysts.

U.S. President Donald Trump's 50% tariffs on shipments from India will choke panel sales to its top overseas market, which accounts for 90% of module exports, they said.

The situation could deteriorate further if anti-dumping duties are imposed on some manufacturers following a petition filed on July 17 by U.S. solar companies with the Commerce Department seeking duties on imports from India, Indonesia, and Laos.

"The 50% tariff will squeeze margins, and potential anti-dumping duties will make competing in the U.S. even tougher," said Raj Prabhu, CEO of clean energy consultancy Mercom Capital.

India's awards of solar generation projects and new tenders slowed dramatically in the quarter ended June, with an adviser to the federal power ministry urging renewable developers to bid cautiously in line with demand growth projections.

"We expect that India will enter overcapacity stage already in 2026, which will feel even worse with the loss of the U.S. market," said Wood Mackenzie analyst Yana Hryshko.

New Delhi's incentives — including import duties and domestic manufacturing mandates — helped double module production capacity annually to 74 gigawatts by March. State Bank of India Capital Markets projects this will reach 190 GW by 2027.

India's solar module factories are already running at only 25% of total capacity on average, said Vinay Rustagi, chief business officer of manufacturer Premier Energies PEME.NS.

"Some companies are running at 80%-85% like us, others are running at much lower capacity," he said.

CHINA CELL IMPORTS

If anti-dumping duties are imposed, Indian manufacturers must either find alternative markets or supply domestically, Hryshko noted.

Finding new markets will be challenging. Indian solar modules made using Chinese cells are 48% more expensive than China-made modules, while those using Indian cells are roughly 143% more expensive, Mercom data shows.

India has capitalised on an 82% decline in prices of Chinese cells since late 2022 and steadily boosted exports of modules, energy think-tank Ember said.

The local solar module manufacturing push has helped companies such as Waaree WAAN.NS and Adani ADEL.NS increase lucrative U.S. exports. But it has also pushed up solar generation costs, which are passed on to debt-laden power retailers.

India plans to mandate domestic cell use from June 2026, despite these costing over three times more than Chinese alternatives, according to Fei Chen, an analyst at consultancy Rystad Energy.

Analysts say the move may trigger increased Chinese imports before the rules take effect.

"Reliance on cell imports is likely to increase in the short term, potentially leading to stockpiling, price spikes, and supply chain pressures," Mercom's Prabhu said.

Aug 8 (Reuters) - MSCI will add four Indian stocks, including retailer Vishal Mega Mart VSSL.NS and online delivery platform Swiggy SWIG.NS, to its flagship MSCI Global Standard index .MIEF00000PUS, setting them up for potential total inflows of $1 billion.

Hitachi Energy India HITN.NS and Waaree Energies WAAN.NS will be the other two additions to the index, while Sona BLW SONB.NS and Thermax THMX.NS will be dropped, the index provider said in a statement dated August 7.

The changes will take place as of the close of August 26, MSCI said.

Swiggy is expected to get inflows worth up to $289 million, while Vishal Mega Mart can get $258 million in passive fund flows as a result of the addition, IIFL Alternate Desk said. They added that Hitachi Energy is likely to draw $230 million of inflows, and Waaree Energies $233 million.

All the six shares were trading lower on the day in a weak market. Meanwhile, information technology company Coforge COFO.NS was down 4%, among top 3 midcap .NIFMDCP100 losers, as it failed to make it to the MSCI Global Standard index.

MSCI's indexes are used by investors globally, with about $16.9 trillion of assets under management benchmarked to their equity indexes.

The index provider will reduce Swiggy rival Eternal's ETEA.NS weight in the flagship index, leading to outflows of up to $607 million, as per IIFL Alternate Desk.

Eternal's weight was expected to be lowered amid its proposal to convert to Indian owned and controlled company (IOCC), capping foreign ownership to 49.5%.

Apart from Eternal, three other Indian stocks - Asian Paints ASPN.NS, Jindal Steel JNSP.NS and Havells India HVEL.NS will see weight cuts, while CG Power and Industrial Solutions' CGPO.NS weight will be increased.

The index provider also announced the addition of 15 Indian stocks and removal of six from its Global Smallcap index.
