Coal India has dissolved its solar manufacturing subsidiary, CIL Solar PV Ltd, effectively shutting down plans to enter integrated solar photovoltaic manufacturing via a special-purpose vehicle. A regulatory filing says the company’s name was removed from the Register of Companies under the Companies Act, 2013, after a Ministry of Corporate Affairs public notice in April 2026. The move ends a proposed 4 GW domestic manufacturing push aimed at reducing reliance on imported solar equipment, though Coal India says it will keep investing in renewables.
Inox Clean Energy has agreed to buy Boviet Solar’s US solar manufacturing assets for $750 million, including module and cell production units in North Carolina. The acquisition is designed to give Inox Clean a stronger foothold in the expanding US solar market and accelerate its manufacturing and supply capabilities as demand grows.

China has asked the WTO to set up a dispute panel against India’s support measures for solar cells and modules, along with certain IT sector policies. The two countries’ bilateral talks failed to resolve the issue, with Beijing alleging the rules discriminate against Chinese goods. The move follows a similar WTO request made in January over India’s auto and battery incentives.
China’s green tech giants are capitalizing on a shifting energy landscape after the Iran war triggered fuel cost shocks. Firms such as Jinko Solar, Chery and BYD report rising demand for EVs, batteries, and solar panels as consumers and businesses in import-dependent markets seek cheaper, homegrown alternatives to expensive fuel.
Waaree Energies is looking to expand aggressively in the United States, with plans that may include building a solar cell manufacturing facility.

India will testify before the US Trade Representative on May 8, pushing back against US allegations of excess manufacturing capacity. Trade officials and industry representatives will address claims tied to petrochemicals, steel, and solar modules. India argues that trade surpluses are driven by broader macroeconomic factors, not unfair overcapacity. The hearing forms part of a wider US review of trade practices.
Solex Energy is set to invest Rs 4,000 crore in Gujarat to build a solar cell manufacturing facility alongside a battery energy storage system (BESS) project. The plan includes a 5-GW solar cell plant and a 10-GW BESS capacity, aiming to strengthen clean-tech manufacturing in the state, create jobs, and support India’s renewable energy push.

A Karnataka court has temporarily stopped new, stricter penalties for solar and wind producers that deviate from scheduled grid supply. Industry groups challenged the rules, saying they were introduced without sufficient public consultation and failed to account for weather-driven variability in renewable generation. The order keeps the older penalty regime in place until the next hearing.

The US has imposed steep preliminary anti-dumping duties of 123% on Indian solar cells and modules, a move the Indian solar industry says is unlikely to cause major immediate damage to exporters. Still, it raises concerns for the sector as the case progresses, adding pressure to an already competitive global market.
The US Commerce Department has announced preliminary antidumping duties on solar cells and panels imported from India, Indonesia, and Laos, alleging the products were sold in the US at unfairly low prices. The move could reshape costs and competition for exporters, while US industry groups backed it. Final determinations are expected later this year.
