As a result of this, many local solar companies\/ manufacturers are facing the heat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The imported material is not only cheaper but also of decent quality. Moreover, India still lacks proper manufacturing technology to produce the necessary components for solar cells and modules. With India losing the WTO case against the\u00a0USA, the domestic content requirement (DCR) portion of Indian solar tenders was removed. Both safeguard and anti-dumping duties have been imposed to check the\u00a0unrestricted imports of solar components into the country.
