Commenting on the map, Dr. Tobias Engelmeier, Founder & Director, Bridge To India, said, "Our annual India Solar Map is a detailed and easily comprehendible analysis of the market shares of India's solar players. We interact with the EPC companies, module and inverter suppliers and project developers to distil a reliable snapshot of the state of the industry. Over the last 12 months, Tata Power Solar has been the most successful company in executing third party (i.e. discounting own projects) EPC contracts in India. Among the domestic module suppliers category also, it is the leading player. The company has been particularly successful at winning large, public sector projects - one of the key growth drivers in the future." For more details on the map, click here.
