India Added 20.8 GW of Solar Module and 3.2 GW of Cell Manufacturing Capacity in 2023

Cumulative solar module manufacturing capacity reached 64.5 GW

March 29, 2024 – In calendar year (CY) 2023, the country added 20.8 gigawatts (GW) of solar modules and 3.2 GW of solar cell capacity, according to the recently released Mercom India research report, State of Solar PV Manufacturing in India 2024.

Manufacturing capacity additions in 2023 were primarily driven by the anticipated reimposition of the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) order starting in April 2024, as well as potential export opportunities.

The country’s cumulative solar module manufacturing capacity reached 64.5 GW, and solar cell manufacturing capacity totaled 5.8 GW as of December 2023.

The top 10 manufacturers accounted for 62% of the module and 100% of cell production capacity as of December 2023.

About 60% of the installed module manufacturing capacity was equipped to manufacture solar modules in M10 and G12 wafer sizes. Only 22.2 GW of the total module production capacity was enlisted under the ALMM order per the updated List–I issued by MNRE as of January 2024.

Monocrystalline modules accounted for 67.5% of the country’s module production capacity, followed by polycrystalline, Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact (TOPCon), and thin film modules.

Module manufacturing capacity

Module manufacturing capacity is projected to surpass 150 GW, and cell capacity is expected to reach over 75 GW by 2026.

Based on the current pipeline, monocrystalline modules are anticipated to represent 59.7% of the annual module production capacity and 50.5% of the cell production capacity by 2026, followed by TOPCon, Heterojunction (HJT), and other technologies.

“As Indian manufacturers continue to invest in expanding their solar panel production capacities, they need to carefully navigate through the complexities of geopolitical tensions and trade disputes. Cheaper Chinese products will continue to challenge the competitiveness of locally-produced modules. A policy change in the U.S., post-elections, could potentially shrink export opportunities, and demand for solar energy in India needs to ramp up significantly to consume the projected increase in module production in the coming three years,’ said Raj Prabhu, CEO of Mercom Capital Group.

photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing capacity

Gujarat led the country’s photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing capacity, accounting for 46.1% of solar modules. Telangana accounted for 39% of annual solar cell production capacity, the highest in the country as of December 2023.

Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu ranked second and third for solar module production capacities, accounting for 9.3% and 7.6%. Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh were second and third, with solar cell production contributing 34.7% and 13.9% of total capacities in the country.

Mercom India Research

Various public sector and government entities issued tenders totaling 9.7 GW to procure solar modules in 2023, up 275.6% YoY.

India imported 16.2 GW of modules, the highest in a year, up 158% YoY from 10.3 GW in 2022. Domestic manufacturers exported 4.8 GW of solar modules in 2023, up 204% compared to 1.6 GW in 2022.

The Evolution of Customer Success in the Age of AI

By Stephen Fulkerson

Customer success (CS) has become a cornerstone of modern business, especially within the SaaS industry. Customer success is one of the largest service functions in the technology industry, and therefore also one of the most expensive. However, our recent research shows that most customer success organizations are laggards in understanding the value of deploying AI.

Our current modeling indicates that AI will reduce headcount by approximately 20%, based on current levels of production and services. Manpower is the most expensive cost center for technology businesses, so this change will drive enormous benefits for businesses. Additionally, 77% of surveyed companies have indicated that they are actively investing in AI. In light of these facts, it is imperative that CS departments embrace the transformative potential offered by AI to enhance their operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Companies’ focus on customer retention and value realization necessitates a proactive and strategic approach to customer relationships. As artificial intelligence (AI) continues its rapid advancement, the customer success landscape is poised for a dramatic transformation. AI’s capabilities in data analysis, automation, and personalization promise to revolutionize how CS teams operate and interact with customers.

Prediction and Proactive Intervention

One of the most significant impacts of AI on customer success will be in the realm of prediction and proactive intervention. AI algorithms excel at sifting through vast amounts of customer data, uncovering patterns, and identifying potential churn risks or expansion opportunities. By analyzing factors such as product usage, support interactions, and sentiment, AI systems can alert CS teams to customers who may be facing challenges or those ripe for an expanded relationship. This allows for timely and targeted interventions, to prevent issues before they become challenges, challenges before they become risks, and risks before they become lost customers.

Predictive capabilities go beyond simple churn alerts. AI can suggest personalized recommendations, such as onboarding pathways tailored to specific customer needs or content that addresses common pain points at particular stages of the customer journey. This proactive, anticipatory approach not only improves the customer experience but also drives customer satisfaction and long-term loyalty.

Automation of Routine Tasks

AI’s power to automate mundane and repetitive tasks will liberate customer success managers (CSMs) from time-consuming administrative work. AI-driven chatbots and virtual assistants can handle basic support queries, schedule appointments, and gather essential customer information. This frees up CSMs to concentrate on the complex, high-touch, and high-value interactions that truly add value for customers.

Automation goes far beyond answering FAQs. AI can assist in the creation of tailored knowledge bases, success plans, and even reports, all dynamically adjusted based on customer data. This level of efficiency optimization translates into CSMs having more capacity to build strategic relationships with their clients instead of being bogged down in paperwork.

Hyper-Personalization at Scale

Personalization has become the holy grail of the customer experience. AI is uniquely capable of delivering hyper-personalization at a scale that was previously impossible. Gone are the days of generic onboarding and one-size-fits-all communications. AI can analyze customer behavior, preferences, and specific needs to provide recommendations, content, and interactions that feel uniquely designed for each individual customer.

This hyper-personalization reinforces the feeling that companies genuinely understand their customers’ challenges and goals. It enhances customer engagement, fosters a sense of trust, and significantly improves customer satisfaction scores. The result is deeper customer relationships and increased lifetime value.

Data-Driven Insights and Decision-Making

AI excels at transforming raw data into actionable insights. By processing information from sources like CRM systems, product usage data, and customer feedback, AI can provide a real-time, 360-degree view of customer health. This granular understanding of the customer base enables more informed decision-making by both CSMs and CS leadership.
No longer will teams rely on mere intuition or broad trends. AI-driven insights shed light on the specific actions and strategies that correlate with success or churn. Identifying these key drivers allows CS teams to optimize customer journeys, refine onboarding processes, and allocate resources in a way that maximizes impact.

Challenges and Considerations

While the transformative potential of AI in customer success is undeniable, it’s important to be mindful of potential challenges and ethical considerations.

• Data Quality and Bias: AI models are as good as the data they are fed. Bias within data can lead to biased predictions and recommendations, potentially alienating customers or perpetuating unfair outcomes. Safeguards against biased AI are necessary.

• The Human Touch: While AI can streamline processes and enhance efficiency, it cannot fully replace the human element of customer success. CSMs are essential for building strong relationships, resolving complex issues, and understanding the nuances of customer needs within specific contexts. AI should be seen as a tool to empower CSMs rather than to fully replace them.

• Transparency: Customers deserve transparency about how their data is used and how AI-driven decisions are made. Explaining AI processes to customers in clear terms builds trust.

The Future of Customer Success

The integration of AI into customer success is not only inevitable but essential for staying competitive in an increasingly data-driven world. We are already seeing AI make an impact in many areas of business, and as we see more dollars invested into this technology, this is only the beginning. AI will augment the skills and capabilities of CSMs, allowing them to deliver more proactive, personalized, and effective experiences. AI won’t eliminate the need for human CSMs, but will transform their roles into strategic advisors and relationship builders.

In this role, he works closely with member companies to deliver research and advisory programs focused on helping them optimize their customer success organizations and effectively deliver positive and successful customer outcomes.
