I am highly impressed by your presentation. Thank a lot sir. That reason i love youtube because its impossible to get this kind of information for a common man.
Excellent video with wide coverage. But one point not covered: the availability & supply of source raw material i. e. Silicon. Please elaborate on how & where silicon is available.
Wonderful video as always. With a lot of excitement around Green hydrogen nowadays, can you explain the value chain of this sector, concerning the market for domestic production of Green hydrogen?
Bahut Accha presentation, polysilicon/ingot production safest investment rahe gaya aur upside integration ka bhi fayda hai, module aur cell k China pe depend bahut dangerous hai kisi bhi din band kardega sab company's band. Abhi west aur china ka panga badega aur kabhi bhi sanction lage ga sab khatam
The manufacturing till ingot disc is applicable semiconductor chip industry and hence China is using it across and playing at very high scale. Hence chip war will make overall cost down

Chemical Sector, Consumption please
Can we get the updated nos as this gs have changed a lot in last few months
You are best 💖
Great
👍 nice
Bahut Accha presentation, polysilicon/ingot production safest investment rahe gaya aur upside integration ka bhi fayda hai, module aur cell k China pe depend bahut dangerous hai kisi bhi din band kardega sab company's band.
Abhi west aur china ka panga badega aur kabhi bhi sanction lage ga sab khatam
Borosil renewable????
Can we have ENGLISH video too, please?
Shukra huzur ❤
The manufacturing till ingot disc is applicable semiconductor chip industry and hence China is using it across and playing at very high scale. Hence chip war will make overall cost down
Insolation energy 🙏🙏
If India takes up mfg sufficient quantity of polysilicon; India can become an energy-sufficient country and also export the solar panels.
