Speaking to CNBC-TV18, Vikram Solar’s management said that the duty is determined by the origin of the solar cell rather than the location where the module is manufactured.
The company added that it does not expect the move to derail India’s solar growth story, citing that it has already been shifting focus towards the domestic market and has no export exposure impacted by the proposed tariffs.
Waaree Energies also clarified that it does not export modules to the US using India-made solar cells, and therefore does not anticipate any impact from the proposed duties.
The company said its domestically manufactured cells are primarily used for module sales within India.
