Awesome 👍 sir. .🙏thanks for valuable knowledgeble session 🙏

[@Shami_Germany]

Learn something good today ! thanks a lot Yadnya ! Can we expect the value chain of Wind Energy !

[@dhaananjay]

Wonderful data explain its use full for investment but more use full for new business who think on solar

[@kashinathdas4959]

Very nice, very useful in investing journey.

[@krishnendurakshit6946]

super efforts by you, very good initiatives, it is essential for all to get atleast fair ideas of solar which you have done. Thank you.

[@charishashyamsukha8809]

Superb!!! Thanks a million!

[@bibhutiudgata590]

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.

[@pramodtsrinivasula6283]

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?

[@lobhasg]

Nice Explanation Pls make video on BESS value chain

[@jitendrakumarchoudhary4702]

Very informative sir Appreciable 🌹

[@amitkauri8558]

Well explained the Solar PV space 🎉

[@Livingstone51]

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????

[@lnnagaraj9499]

If India takes up mfg sufficient quantity of polysilicon; India can become an energy-sufficient country and also export the solar panels.

[@Iamreal11xingping]

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
