SunEdison, one of the world's largest solar power giants, hit the headlines recently as it filed for bankruptcy protection in the US. The Indian arm of the firm, however, remains determined to keep its nearly 1.7 GW projects going. Here its managing director analyses some dos and don'ts for industry players. India is expected to be among top four markets globally in solar installs over the next five years, largely driven by the mission level push of the central government with a vision of deploying 100 GW of solar by 2022. Under the leadership of power minister Piyush Goyal, 6950 MW of solar capacity has already been bid out in the last two years and the installed capacity stands at 6762 MW as of March 2016. Combined with a steep decline in solar PV capex over the last two years to less than 0.9 $/Wp installed (for utility scale plants) and resulting drop in solar electricity tariffs to 7 $cents/Kwh, growth in solar installations is only going to accelerate further. As a result, the solar power generation in India has already attracted many foreign developers, and investors and several more are evaluating investing in the sector. Hence as the title suggests, this article attempts to provide guidance to foreign investors looking at solar in India. Note that this is not meant to be exhaustive, but rather highlights a few key areas that should be kept in mind by a foreign investor looking at Indian solar market.
