By Richa Chakravarty
Monday, November 24, 2014: The Indian solar industry is at a crucial juncture. On one hand, the
anti dumping duty on solar cells and modules recommended by the Ministry of Commerce has
attracted a lot of criticism from the industry as it may severely impact the market, if imposed.

On the other, the delay in announcing the guidelines for Phase II of the Jawaharlal Nehru
National Solar Mission (JNNSM) affected the growth trajectory of the sector. However, to scale
up solar capacity and promote manufacturing, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy

(MNRE) announced guidelines for the Phase II Batch II bundling scheme for a capacity of
1500MW. This came as a respite for the industry as it is considered to be one of the largest
tenders issued till date. Keeping this scenario in mind, Electronics Bazaar attempted to list the

top solar companies that survived the recent harsh market conditions.
The Electronics Bazaar team conducted a survey among the solar companies operating in India
to ascertain their performance during 2012-13. While attempting to rank the top solar
companies in the country, we faced certain challenges since each company has its own
strengths and is perceived as a leader in a specific domain within the industry. Hence, we
ranked these companies based on their turnover for 2012-13 (as revenues for a majority of the
companies for 2013-14 could not be procured).
We would also like to mention that the companies that are into EPC and installation of solar
mega projects, including Welspun, Lanco, CEL, Sterling, Juwi, etc, were not a part of this
ranking as these companies are also involved in multiple business verticals, other than solar
energy. Also, some of the companies did not want to share their current turnover figures.
Disclaimer: While this survey is by no means comprehensive, it does provide a
glimpse into many of Indias key solar companies. While Electronics Bazaars editorial
team has taken the utmost care to contact all possible sources to make the list
comprehensive, we may have inadvertently left out a few companies from this list.
Information contained in the following report has been obtained from sources
deemed reliable, and Electronics Bazaar makes no claims with respect to its accuracy.
