According to a business newspaper, the World Trade Organisation (WTO) has ruled against India in a dispute with the United States on its solar power programme.
The news paper said that the dispute settlement panel of WTO, in a confidential report to New Delhi and Washington, has found that India has violated global trade rules through imposing local content requirements for solar cells and solar modules and has also struck down incentive policies such as subsidies provided for domestic solar companies to manufacture cells and solar modules.
