印度太阳能行业协会(AISIA)要求政府对太阳能设备征收至少50%基本关税 (BCD),从而确保国内制造商的生存。
AISIA表示,印度太阳能制造商由于新冠肺炎导致出口严重减少而受到打击。BCD能够为总理的“为本土发声”行动注入更多动力,并帮助制造商巩固他们在本地市场的地位。 虽然防卫税和政府最近提供港口附近土地用于建造制造企业的决策是一个正确的举措,太阳能制造商仍迫切需要喘息。
“制造商的生存需要政府重整现有的政策,比如征收至少50%基本关税的政策以及模范与制造商认证清单,如果没有行动,国内太阳能组件制造商的未来将黯淡缩水。”AISIA主席Hitesh Doshi说道。 Doshi补充道,“直通优势 【针对未来订单关税和税费提升的保护】或是针对组件进口的祖父条款【豁免特定情况的新规则】不会让【开发商】选择购买本地制造商所生产的太阳能组件。”目前,印度已经达成了超过32000兆瓦的购电协议,其中约45000兆瓦电力的组件都将在接下来的三年进口。
“如果本地制造商享有同样优势,国家将能保留成千上万的工作岗位,并节省巨额外汇。开发商也可能选择购买印度的产品,印度制造商也将生存下去。” 2020财务年度,印度从中国进口了价值13亿美元的太阳能设备。如果重点转到保障本地企业上,太阳能行业的国内制造商有潜力能够为GDP做出巨大贡献。AISIA表示,脱离对中国和其他国际市场的依赖也将节省外汇。
