Key Note Panel Discussion: Analyzing the PV industry and how it fared last year and the opportunities and challenges present for the next 3 years. India is expected to emerge as the world’s third-largest passenger- vehicle market by 2020. It took India around seven years to increase annual production to four million vehicles from three million.
