Solar Power Production in India

Statement 1 is incorrect: While India is a growing player in solar manufacturing, it is not the third largest in silicon wafer manufacturing globally. China and Taiwan dominate silicon wafer manufacturing. India's solar manufacturing capacity has grown, but silicon wafer production remains limited. Statement 2 is incorrect: Solar power tariffs in India are not determined by SECI (Solar Energy Corporation of India) alone. Tariffs are determined through competitive bidding processes conducted by state discoms and central agencies under guidelines set by regulatory commissions (CERC and SERCs). SECI is a generator and procurer, not the tariff-setting authority. Both statements are incorrect. > India's solar manufacturing growing but not 3rd in silicon wafers; tariffs set by regulatory commissions via bidding. Answer: (d).
