Government Policies and Initiatives Regarding Solar Panel Manufacturing Create Market Opportunity

India is establishing aggressive targets for renewable energy to minimize its reliance on fossil fuels and respond to climate change. To realize the established objectives, the nation is optimizing green energy from the increasing installations of solar energy in the household and for commercial purposes which increases demand for advanced encapsulation of the solar in the market. Based on the incorporation of advanced solar encapsulation material, the panel's potential of generating solar energy in the difficult climate is improved.

Moreover, increasing government policies and initiatives on solar panel production are generating large market opportunities for solar encapsulation materials in the next few years. In India, the Union Budget for FY2025-FY2026 has set aside considerable investments to increase renewable energy, such as a special USD 1.1 billion for the development of solar infrastructure. These encompass big solar parks and roof-mounted installations, which increase the production capacity of solar panels and thus fuel the demand for solar encapsulation in the market.

In January 2025, The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) issued the Solar Systems, Devices, and Components Goods Order, 2025, replacing the 2017 order, to enforce stricter quality standards for solar photovoltaic (PV) products. Effective 180 days post-publication, the order mandates that solar PV modules, inverters, and storage batteries conform to the latest Indian Standards and bear the BIS Standard Mark. Minimum efficiency criteria have been set at 18% for mono-crystalline silicon and thin-film PV modules, and 17% for poly-crystalline silicon PV modules. The order applies to all stakeholders in the solar PV market, excluding products meant exclusively for export. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) will oversee certification and enforcement, with penalties for non-compliance as per the BIS Act, 2016. This initiative aims to enhance product reliability, ensure safety, and support India's renewable energy targets.

Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA) to Dominate the India Solar Encapsulation Market

The use of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) material is on the rise in the Indian solar encapsulation industry due to the growing demand for high-quality encapsulation materials. EVA is preferred for its excellent optical transparency and strong adhesion to both glass and solar cells, making it an ideal choice for protecting photovoltaic modules against environmental stress.

Additionally, the Indian government's incentives and policies for solar energy uptake have triggered large investments in solar infrastructure, boosting the demand for EVA encapsulants in the market. The immense expansion of rooftop solar installations for residential and commercial purposes also aids in the growth of the segment as these require resilient encapsulation to deliver long-term performance and efficiency. In addition, improvements in the technology used in producing EVA have enhanced its properties making the material more attractive to solar panel makers. Consequently, EVA encapsulation is emerging as a key element in promoting the durability and reliability of solar panels in the market.
