According a report prepared by Mercom Consulting, the rupee fall and prices of modules firming up in the past few months has added to the woes of the sector, which is beset with difficulties in terms of gathering pace.

Therefore, Mercom states that India needs to focus on creating a policy environment to encourage private and foreign investments into the sector.
