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. In a statement on Tuesday, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) said that it had received applications from four companies – SunEdison, China Solar, Trina Solar and Yingli Green Energy. 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.
