This is, however, subject to the mission being "implemented in a pragmatic manner" and initiation of new measures "aimed at assisting Indian companies through tax incentives, soft loans or a revolving equity fund".
The report, commissioned by the Australian government, analyses the context, barriers and policy options for the growth of the CSP industry in India.
As opposed to photovoltaic (PV) technologies, the CSP technologies use systems of mirrored concentrators to focus direct beam solar radiation to receivers that convert the heat energy to mechanical energy through a steam turbine and then into electricity.
India's solar mission launched in January 2010 has an ambitious target of 20 GWe of installed solar power by 2022. In the first phase, 1 GW of grid-connected solar energy is targeted for 2013 with an approximate 50:50 split between CSP and PV technologies.
"CSP has advantages compared to photovoltaics as it can readily incorporate thermal energy storage and/or fossil fuel boosting to provide dispatchable power," says the report.
India's solar mission visionary: Australian report
Bangalore: The Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission launched by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh last year has positioned India "to become a global leader in the growth of concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies," according to a new report.
