Moving Upstream - Materials, Polysilicon, and Wafer Manufacturing in India

The Leela Hotel Room: Bandhej

Charting the path toward self-reliance in critical inputs and integration with global supply chains involves assessing India's ability to scale upstream manufacturing. This includes evaluating how quickly the country can build competitive capacity in polysilicon, ingots, and wafers through investment and technology partnerships. Some import dependence may still remain because global producers offer lower costs, higher purity levels, and more mature process efficiencies.
