Explanation

'Domestic Content Requirement' (DCR) is a policy measure that mandates a certain percentage of components or products used in a project or industry to be sourced locally. In the context of India, DCR has been a prominent feature, particularly in the solar energy sector. The government implemented DCR policies to promote domestic manufacturing of solar cells and modules, thereby fostering local industry growth and reducing reliance on imports for solar power projects. This measure aimed to boost local employment and technological capabilities in the renewable energy sector.
