The domestic content requirement (DCR) category, the mandate for solar projects in India to utilize domestically manufactured solar modules and cells, was instituted in the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) from the beginning of 2010 in an effort to create a healthy and robust indigenous manufacturing base and to elevate India’s status as a solar hub. But due to constantly changing market dynamics and the rise of China as the world’s manufacturing center, the DCR category is all but done with DCR tenders almost at a standstill.
