Literature Review:
Solar energy market developments in India
India is working towards energy security by using renewable energy sources like solar, wind, biomass, and small hydro. Solar energy is a key part of this plan, helping reduce reliance on traditional energy sources and cutting down carbon emissions. The government recently raised its solar power target from 20 GW to 100 GW by 2022. However, the solar industry faces several challenges, including issues with grid connectivity, regulatory and policy changes, high initial costs, and limited financing options. Additionally, there is a lack of consumer awareness and acceptance. Experts suggest solutions like attracting investments, making financing easier, improving transmission infrastructure, providing skill development programs, and building a local manufacturing industry for solar components. These steps can help overcome challenges and support India’s goal of industrial growth through clean energy.
Solar power utility sector in India: Challenges and opportunities
In the last decade, India’s power demand has increased significantly, leading the government to set a target of 100 GW of solar power by 2022 under the National Solar Mission. Around 60% of this target is assigned to large-scale solar developers and investors, both national and international. It is important to understand the challenges these developers face in meeting the target. This article discusses the key barriers and obstacles that solar developers encounter. It also highlights factors that motivate large solar companies to invest in India. The article concludes by suggesting government policies that can help overcome these challenges and ensure a sustainable energy future for India.
Data Collection:
Solar industries India Ltd and Nifty50 data was download for period 1-1-24 to 31-12-24 and data was manipulated to find out the Friday closing prices were calculated of Nifty50 = X and Solar industries India Ltd = Y, Y was regression on X
Data Analysis:
Equation: Solar Industries = a + b (Nifty 50)
Interpretation: The regression equation describes the relationship between Nifty50 (X) and Solar Industries share price (Y), indicating that Solar Industries’ share price is the dependent variable, while Nifty50 is the independent variable. With 46 observations ((N = 46)), the (R^2) value is 0.05, implying that approximately 5% of the variation in Solar Industries’ share price can be explained by changes in Nifty50. The F-value for the model is 2.5. The p-value for the slope is 0.12, which is greater than the conventional threshold of 0.05. This indicates that the relationship between Nifty50 and Solar Industries’ share price is not statistically significant at the 5% level. Consequently, this model does not provide strong evidence to suggest a significant linear relationship between Nifty50 and Solar Industries’ share price.
Conculsion:
Since the beta value is 0.056 it indicates that the company is less volatile than the market and it is good for long term investment.
