Electricity prices

There are actually. Today, solar per kW is cheaper than nuclear energy. We could significantly expand our solar generation and storage capacity. But our Govt in all its wisdom has imposed insane tariffs and non tariff barriers on solar panels and lithium cells imported from China. Solar modules per watt in India cost twice the cost in China. ALMM (Approved List of Modules & Manufacturers) DCR (domestic content requirements) laws have significantly hindered expansion of generation capacity in India in both commercial and residential spheres. Multiple barriers to importing lithium batteries have been setup - tariffs, BIS certification requirements, import export license requirements.
