About Strategic Growth & Vision
Our Gwalior mega-factory represents a 4,000 crore investment spanning 54 acres. This facility is engineered for full vertical integration, producing advanced N-Type TOPCon solar cells to provide our partners with a stable, DCR-compliant supply chain for their utility-grade projects.
Our expansion roadmap is designed to move beyond mere assembly, integrating the entire solar value chain in India.
The Path to 5 GW
Our facility rollout is executed in phases to ensure consistent quality control. The first phase establishes a 2 GW manufacturing capacity for solar cells by 2026, with an additional 3 GW phase planned thereafter. This phased approach allows us to maintain the strict technical specifications required for N-Type TOPCon technology, ensuring higher efficiency and durability compared to standard market offerings.
Why This Matters for Your Projects
Dependence on imported components often creates volatility in project timelines and costs. By producing cells domestically, we offer:
- DCR Compliance: Full alignment with Domestic Content Requirement guidelines for government-backed tenders.
- Supply Security: Reduced exposure to global supply chain disruptions and import delays.
- Advanced Technology: Access to N-Type TOPCon cells that deliver >24.2% efficiency and improved bifacial performance.
Financial & Operational Transparency
We believe in bankability. Our financial health is validated by CRISIL ratings, providing the stability required for long-term project partnerships. As we prepare for our upcoming IPO, our focus remains on reinvesting in advanced robotic infrastructure and precision testing protocols to ensure every module meets IEC global standards. For developers and system integrators, this means a reliable partner with the industrial scale to support gigawatt-level requirements.
