India could start installing 20,000 megawatts of solar power capacity as early as April after companies pledged to support the government’s drive for clean energy, an official told Reuters.
Details of the plan, which has drawn commitments from U.S., German and Chinese companies, will be announced on Friday, said Upendra Tripathy, secretary of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
“We have got commitments from very established industry, both foreign and domestic for next year,” he said in an interview at his office.
Foreign companies will be allowed to decide where they manufacture the required equipment, he said.
