Nearly 10 days after the US filed a dispute against India at WTO over discriminating against its producers in the second phase of the solar mission, India has readied a strong counter against the US for providing export credits to its solar products like thin-film panels and preferential treatment for purchase of power produced from US-made solar products in 13 of that country's states. Firmly maintaining that India's solar mission was fully WTO-compliant, Indian government officials pointed out that there were significant concerns over importing 'thin-film technology' for solar panels 'overwhelmingly' from the US.
