Stocks in the power sector are trading mixed with KSK Energy and Adani Power leading the gains. As per an article in Economic Times, 2.92 crore solar power panels were imported from China during April-June. This constituted about 66% of the total solar power panel imports of the country during the concerned period. In the previous fiscal, solar panel imports from China constituted over 70% of the total imports of the country. For 2013-14, the same constituted over 65% of the total imports by the country.

Besides China, India depends heavily on Taiwan and Malaysia for solar power panels. To reduce this dependence the government has listed several initiatives to promote domestic production. One of this includes reduction/exemption of custom and excise duty on several input raw materials required for manufacturing of cells and modules. Moreover, it also provides capital subsidy to manufacturers under special incentive package scheme (SIPS) & Modified Special Incentive Package Scheme (M-SIP).

As reported, the total installed solar power generation capacity as on November 26, 2015 was 4,666.60 MW. Further, the total installed wind power generation capacity stood at 24,677.72 MW as on October 31, 2015. It is important to note that the government has increased India's solar power capacity target under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) by five times from 20,000 MW to 1,00,000 MW by 2022.
