（印度）政府在2021年预算中提高太阳能灯的关税

FM说：“目前，为了鼓励国内生产，我们正在将太阳能逆变器的关税从5％提高到20％，并将太阳能灯的关税从5％提高到15％。”
新德里：政府周一提议提高太阳能逆变器，灯或灯具的进口关税，但并未继续实施计划，全面对太阳能设备征收基本关税，以提振国内制造业。
鉴于印度雄心勃勃的目标是到2022年拥有175GW的可再生能源，其中包括100GW的太阳能，因此太阳能开发商协会还敦促政府暂缓对太阳能设备征收基本关税的计划。
由于国内产业的生产能力有限，太阳能开发商严重依赖太阳能设备的进口。
财政部长Nirmala Sitharaman在Lok Sabha的预算讲话中说：“我们已经承认太阳能对印度具有巨大的前景。为了提高国内产能，我们将通知太阳能电池和太阳能电池板的分阶段制造计划。”
“目前，为了鼓励国内生产，我们正在将太阳能逆变器的关税从5％提高到20％，并将太阳能灯的关税从5％提高到15％。”
去年6月，印度电力大臣辛格曾表示对太阳能设备征收基本关税。
该国的太阳能开发商要求政府在4月开始的2021-22年预算中暂时停止在太阳能设备上实施基本关税。
他们担心，将基本关税施加在太阳能设备上可能会使政府雄心勃勃的目标：到2022年拥有175GW可再生能源，这需要17.5千万卢比的投资流量。
根据行业估计，要想竞标该国35吉瓦的可再生能源产能，就需要多达17.5千万卢比的投资。大约50吉瓦的清洁能源正在实施中，而印度已经安装了90吉瓦的可再生能源，其中包括37吉瓦的太阳能和38吉瓦的风能。
但是，根据预算讲话，正在取消对设立太阳能发电项目的所有机械，仪器，器具，组件或辅助设备的豁免。
财政部长还告诉众议院，为进一步促进非常规能源领域的发展，政府已提议向印度太阳能公司提供100亿卢比的额外注资，并向印度可再生能源发展局提供150亿卢比的注资。
Government hikes custom duty on solar lamps in Budget 2021

“At present, to encourage domestic production, we are raising duty on solar invertors from 5 per cent to 20 per cent, and on solar lanterns from 5 per cent to 15 per cent,” said FM.
NEW DELHI: The government on Monday proposed to raise import duty on solar inverters and lanterns or lamps but did not go ahead with its plan to impose basic custom duty on solar equipment across the board to boost domestic manufacturing.
The Solar Power Developers Association had also urged the government to hold back its plan to impose basic custom duty (BCD) on solar equipment for time being in view of India’s ambitious target of having 175GW of renewables by 2022, which include 100GW of solar.
Solar developers depend heavily on solar equipment imports due to limited production capacity of domestic industry.
In her budget speech in the Lok Sabha, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said, “We have already acknowledged that solar energy has huge promise for India. To build up domestic capacity, we will notify a phased manufacturing plan for solar cells and solar panels.”
“At present, to encourage domestic production, we are raising duty on solar invertors from 5 per cent to 20 per cent, and on solar lanterns from 5 per cent to 15 per cent.”
Power Minister R K Singh in June last year had indicated about the imposition of basic customs duty on solar equipment.
Solar power developers in the country had demanded that the government should hold back the imposition of BCD on solar equipment for the time being in the budget for 2021-22 beginning April.
They had apprehensions that imposition of BCD on solar equipment could derail the government’s ambitious target of having 175GW renewables by 2022, requiring an investment flow of Rs 1.75 lakh crore.
According to industry estimates, as much as Rs 1.75 lakh crore investment is required to bid out 35GW of renewable energy capacity in the country. About 50 GW of clean energy is under implementation, while India has already installed over 90GW renewables, including 37GW of solar and 38GW of wind energy.
However, according to the budget speech, exemption to all items of machinery, instruments, appliances, components or auxiliary equipment for setting up of solar power generation projects is being rescinded.
The finance minister also told the House that to give a further boost to the non-conventional energy sector, the government has proposed to provide additional capital infusion of Rs 1,000 crore to Solar Energy Corporation of India and Rs 1,500 crores to Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency.
