Livemint reports that First Solar is one of the first overseas companies to enter India’s solar energy market, and it considers the country as its second-largest market after the U.S. in terms of total shipments. The Indian solar power generation space is getting intensely competitive, as India plans to generate 175 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity by 2022. Of this, 100GW will be from solar power projects.

In a report dated March 20, the New Delhi-based consulting firm Bridge to India said, “The country added 5,526MW of new solar capacity (up 83% over Fiscal Year 2015-16) and 5,400 MW of new wind capacity (up 63%) in the year.”
