Solar tracker market in India 

Scorpius now faces stiff competition from existing local and global rivals in India. For example, US-based solar tracker company Nextracker recently announced achieving 10 GW of contracted orders in India. Another China-based solar tracker firm, Archtech, operates in more than 40 countries, including India. Archtech also opened its 3GW production facility in 2022. 

Solar trackers allow solar panels to move on their axis to achieve higher efficiency. Mainly used by utility-scale projects in India, several Indian solar project developers have roped in their services to boost their efficiency. Several of them, like Sterling and Wilson, have used the services of multiple tracker firms in different projects, including Scorpius and Nextracker.
