Tracking India’s Energy Transition
Modules, cells, wafers and components — India’s clean energy manufacturing build-out.
The ₹3,293 crore, 7 GW n-type TOPCon facility at Naidupeta in Andhra Pradesh lifts Premier Energies' total solar cell capacity to 10.6 GW — making it India's largest cell manufacturer as the country races to close its biggest supply-chain gap.
Mercom data shows India's solar manufacturing base expanding at a blistering pace — but the yawning gap between module and cell capacity remains the supply chain's weak link.
India’s module capacity has grown from 3 GW a decade ago to about 172 GW today. The harder, more capital-intensive layers of the supply chain are only now catching up.
Nayurja Bharat Pvt. Ltd. is investing ₹1,000 crore in a solar component manufacturing complex at Mohasa-Babai in Madhya Pradesh, starting with encapsulant film capacity of 3 GW, scalable to 10 GW.
