Explanation

‘Domestic Content Requirement’, recently in news, is related to development of solar power production. The World Trade Organization had ruled against India’s domestic content policy for solar cells and modules; India appealed the ruling in a bid to keep DCR rules in place for government procurement. The case against India was originally filed in 2013, following the announcement of DCR in JNNSM Phase II policy and after India decided to file an anti-dumping case against the U.S., China, Malaysia and Taiwan.
