Hyderabad / Düsseldorf | February 2, 2026
The new India-EU trade agreement is expected to strengthen solar manufacturing in India –critical to the country’s resilience, energy security, and decarbonization goals – and forms a core theme of the upcoming TaiyangNews Solar Technology Conference India (STC.I) 2026, scheduled for February 5-6, 2026.
STC.I 2026 brings together a large-scale, high-impact industry gathering of CXOs, founders, and key decision-makers from India’s leading PV manufacturers, global technology majors, policy institutions, and research organizations to examine the practical realities of scaling production, integrating upstream processes, and adopting next-generation manufacturing technologies. It will also feature speakers from Europe’s leading solar technology research institutes and solar production equipment suppliers.
The discussions will center around manufacturing efficiency, supply-chain robustness, cost competitiveness, and execution challenges, providing participants with a clear view of the pathways – and trade-offs – required to build and operate sustainable, giga-scale PV manufacturing operations along the value chain in India at a time module manufacturing capacities have outgrown domestic market demand.

Leadership Quotes
“India’s solar manufacturing journey is entering a phase where success will be defined by execution, technology depth, and meaningful integration rather than capacity announcements alone,” said Michael Schmela, Managing Director of TaiyangNews. “STC.I 2026 has established itself as the solar manufacturing industry forum that brings decision-makers together to examine what it really takes to build and run competitive, large-scale PV manufacturing operations in India.”
Shravan Chunduri, Head of Technology at TaiyangNews, added, “As Indian module manufacturers move upstream into cells, wafers and silicon, it’s crucial for sustainable long-term business operation to make the right technology choices and process decisions. STC.I 2026 will discuss the practical and technical realities of solar manufacturing to enable high-quality and low-cost production – covering process equipment, materials, efficiency, yield, equipment, and integration challenges.”
