China has requested consultations with India under World Trade Organization (WTO) rules regarding measures affecting solar cells, solar modules, and information technology trade. The request has focused on India’s tariff treatment and conditions under the Production Linked Incentive Solar Module Programme. According to the filing, India has applied basic customs duties up to 20% and Agriculture Infrastructure Development Cess of 7.5% or 20%. These duties were imposed on products under Harmonized System (HS) codes 85414200, 85414300, and manufacturing equipment codes from 84861000 to 90319000. The Solar Module Programme was implemented through Tranche I and Tranche II to incentivise domestic high efficiency PV manufacturing. Beneficiary firms were required to meet local value addition thresholds ranging from 50% to 90%, increasing annually over five years. China is seeking a clarification and possible adjustment of India’s applied tariffs to ensure alignment with bound commitments under WTO schedules. China also expects a review of PLI Solar Module Programme conditions linking incentives to domestic content to restore predictable market access for solar products.
