Gujarat – India’s solar manufacturing hub?

A report in Business Standard claims that Gujarat is in talks with seven firms for setting up solar modules manufacturing units in the state. The firms include Lanco Solar, Moser Baer, PLG Power, Solar Semiconductor, Sunkon Energy, Top Sun Energy and Waree Energies. It is reported that the manufacturing units will be set up in a "solar" special economic zone.

The Gujarat Energy Development Agency recently approved 716MW of solar projects. It seems the state is now eyeing investment from the manufacturing side of the solar industry.
