Amid the success of Solar Photovoltaic(PV) projects in India, Concentrated Solar Power (CSP)technology also provides a compelling case for support bythe government as among solar technologies; CSP is the onlytechno-economically viable option at present that provides astorage option for dispatchable and dependable solar energy.Furthermore, the conversion of solar to steam is arelatively high-efficiency process versus the conversionefficiency of PV. This process can effectively supplementfossil fuels and renewable fuel, such as biomass, and thuscontribute to the overall energy security of the country.The specific objective of the study is to assess thepotential of India's industries to set up amanufacturing base to produce CSP technology components andequipment. The study assesses competitive positioning andthe potential of Indian companies in the manufacturing ofimportant CSP components. Various analysis models wereprepared for the analysis, and the details have beenexplained in the elaborated version of the report. Thereport also proposes an action plan to help develop thispotential and evaluate the resulting economic benefits. Thisreport includes the following activities: i) assessment ofthe competitive position of local industries to support thedevelopment of CSP technologies in India; ii) evaluation ofshort, medium, and long-term economic benefits of creationof a local manufacturing base; and iii) action plan tostimulate local manufacturing of CSP technology componentsand equipment. This document is a summary of the largerreport. The data analysis and messages presented in thereport are based on very limited information presentlyavailable in the Indian market. Therefore, it is recommendedthat the trends and ideas to be given more attention thanthe data itself.
