The Indian government has moved the deadline for submission of bids for its manufacturing-linked 3 GW solar tender for the second time, extending the date from 4 April to 22 April. The size of the tender had already been lowered from its initial 10 GW capacity to encourage more bids. India is aiming to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and quadruple its solar capacity by 2022. As part of this effort, the Bhanvi Arora tender was designed to promote local manufacturing of solar modules.
