据口袋新能源海外团队(领英：Pocket New Energy)调研，2025年9月4日，Taiyang News 官网发布：印度政府已将太阳能光伏组件和风力发电机商
品的货物和服务税(GST)从12%降至5%。
主要达成：
1、印度已将太阳能组件的消费税从12%降至5%，预计此举将显著降低项目成本。
2、降低消费税将帮助可再生能源开发商并缓解消费者的购买费用。
3、行业领袖对改革表示欢迎，认为这将促进国内制造业、仓储采用和印度独立自助的愿景。
印度财政部将太阳能组件的商品和服务税从12%下调至5%，这是该国更广泛的商品和服务税率改革的一部分。此举已在GST理事会第56次会议上获得批准，预计将降低项目成本，同时确保业务的便利性。
受益于5%的可再生能源设备及其制造部件包括太阳能光伏电池(无论是否组装成组件或制成面板)、太阳能发电设备、太阳能灯能灯、风力发电机、海浪/潮汐能设备/工厂等。
“太阳能光伏组件和风力涡轮发电机消费税税率的合理化预计将使太阳能和风力发电项目的资本成本降低约5%。预计这将使太阳能发电项目每单位的发电成本降低10派士，风力发电项目每单元的发电成本减少15派士，”ICRA有限公司可再生能源高级副总裁兼集团负责人Girishkumar Kadam解释道。
他补充道“这将减少未执行项目的资本成本，并可能反映在即将进行的投标中。这反过来将使配电公司在未来能够以较低的购电成本获益。”
太阳能光伏行业在很大程度上欢迎政府降低消费税税率的决定，认为此举有助于降低项目成本，并为行业增长提供急需的推动力。
维克拉姆太阳能公司董事长兼董事总经理吉纳什·乔杜里表示:“降低项目成本将加速太阳能的跨部门应用，并使清洁能源更接近数百万家庭和企业。”

India Slashes GST On Solar PV Cells From 12% To 5%
Key Takeaways
India has lowered GST on solar components from 12% to 5%, a move that’s expected to reduce project costs significantly
Lower GST will aid renewable energy developers and ease discoms’ purchase expenses
Industry leaders welcome the reform as a boost to domestic manufacturing, storage adoption, and the Atmanirbhar Bharat vision
India’s Finance Ministry has slashed the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on solar energy components from 12% to 5% as part of a wider GST reform in the country. The move, approved by the GST Council at its 56th meeting, is expected to lower project costs while ensuring ease of doing business.
Renewable energy devices and parts for their manufacture that benefit from this revised rate of 5% include solar PV cells, whether or not assembled in modules or made up into panels, solar power-based devices, solar power generation, solar lantern/solar lamp, wind mills, and ocean waves/tidal waves energy devices/plants, among others.
“The rationalisation of GST rates for solar PV modules and wind turbine generators is expected to reduce the capital cost for solar and wind power projects by ~5%. This is expected to reduce the cost of generation for solar power projects by ~10 paise per unit and for wind power projects by ~15-17 paise per unit,” explained Senior Vice President & Group Head, ICRA Ltd. on Renewable Energy, Girishkumar Kadam.
He added “This would reduce the capital cost for under-implementation projects and also likely to reflect in upcoming bids. This in turn will benefit the power distribution companies in the form of lower power purchase cost, going forward.”
The solar PV industry has largely welcomed the government’s decision to reduce the GST rate, viewing it as a move toward easing project costs and providing a much-needed boost to sectoral growth.
The Chairman and Managing Director of Vikram Solar, Gyanesh Chaudhary, said, “Lowering project costs will accelerate solar adoption across sectors and bring clean energy closer to millions of homes and businesses,” adding, “The GST cut gives a clear signal in support of Atmanirbhar Bharat, encouraging investment in solar cell and module production and reinforcing our path to self-reliance.”
Calling it a bold, landmark, and future-focused decision, Jakson Group Chairman Sameer Gupta said this will become a long-term enabler of domestic manufacturing. “While India has achieved significant milestones in solar module production, reliance on foreign imports for upstream components continues.
Rationalising GST pricing creates a more competitive environment that encourages investment and supports the growth of a robust 'Made in India' solar supply chain,” stated Gupta.
Chaudhary also hailed the lowering of GST on lithium-ion battery from 28% to 18% as it will support the country’s grid stability as renewable energy grows.
He said, “Equally significant is the reduction in tax on non-lithium-ion batteries. As India increases its renewable energy generation, building scalable, long-duration energy storage solutions is critical for grid stability and round-the-clock power. This set of reforms goes beyond cost correction and
reflects strategic intent. It strengthens India’s clean energy value chain and reinforces our position as a global leader in sustainable growth.”
In a list of FAQs on the revised GST slabs for renewable energy, the ministry stated, “While reducing the GST rate to 5% will deepen inversion, mechanism for refund arising out of inverted duty structure is available. In addition, process reforms will ensure expedited refunds. The objective is to promote renewable energy goods.”
The new rates will become effective from September 22, 2025, according to the Finance Ministry.
