For years, India has depended on imports of transformer bushings particularly at higher voltage levels. For India to become a global manufacturing hub, the gaps in product design, manufacturing technology must be addressed with a sense of urgency.

The amended FDI policy for investments from countries sharing land borders with India aims to attract capital and technology for critical solar components—such as cells, wafers, and polysilicon—while retaining strategic control of assets with domestic entities. Industry experts say it could accelerate renewable energy infrastructure and manufacturing, but it also carries risks, including pricing pressure, making careful regulatory oversight essential.
