*Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW): Covid-19 related uncertainty might wipe out cash flows in India's solar industry and affect sectoral growth for at least two quarters. Solar imports from China declined by 70 per cent in January 2020 compared to January 2019. India relies on China for 80% of its solar imports. The crisis could lead to projects being delayed by 4-6 months and 70,000 people facing job uncertainties.

Overview

The global pandemic COVID-19 has completely uprooted our lives and changed the way we work. It also has a tremendous impact on the off-grid energy sector. According to a survey by GOGLA, if this situation lasts for more than 3-4 months, many off-grid companies (almost 50%) will not survive. One of the biggest problems of off-grid companies is liquidity. Due to the current situation, customer liquidity has gone down, new sales have decreased, access to capital is either slowed or reduced and this has made it difficult to maintain the infrastructures.
