India's Azure Power has issued an appeal for foreign solar manufacturers to create joint ventures with domestic companies, in an attempt to boost the country's struggling production lines. The call for expressions of interest made by the ministry's Central Electronics division follows disappointing results from the Solar Energy Corporation of India’s recent national PV and manufacturing capacity tender. The scheme aimed to establish 5 GW of solar manufacturing capacity but closed with just one bid from Ministry of Science and Technology for 600 MW.
