However, Ind-Ra believes that it is likely to moderate again intermittently on account of high panel prices along with issues in timely availability of imported solar panels.<\/p>\n<p> The module prices are likely to remain elevated over FY23, and given the supply-chain constraints and order backlogs, the supply of modules is likely to remain constrained, impacting the capacity addition in India, it noted.<\/p><div class=\"trade-content-10\" id=\"trade-821757128\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4023722985638610\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- in_content_3_news -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4023722985638610\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2969612066\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p> According to Ind-Ra the energy transition in terms of increasing generation from renewable sources would continue and increase by 125-150bp annually till FY25.<\/p>\n<p> Furthermore, the impetus to fasten the energy transition would require technologies such as battery storage and green hydrogen, to be viable for commercial scale, it added.
