Engineering, Procurement & Construction Best Practice Guidelines

India Edition 2.0

30 October 2025

SolarPower Europe and the National Solar Energy Federation of India (NSEFI) have published the second edition of their engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) guidelines for India.

This new publication includes updated recommendations to reflect India’s unique market and business conditions, and rapid solar growth. 

 

Building on the first Indian edition of the EPC Best Practice Guidelines, this latest version includes important updates, including a revised Health and Safety chapter which details key national legislation on occupational health and safety to ensure that EPC service providers are aware of their obligations towards their staff. 

 

The guidelines aim to increase transparency and establish common standards for everyone involved in building solar PV plants, from EPC contractors, to owners, investors, lenders, and technical experts.

 

The revised guidelines were drafted by over 60 experts from the Indian and European solar industries, and supported by the Indo-German Energy Forum (IGEF).
