Indosol Solar Accelerates Toward 10 GW Integrated Manufacturing Milestone by 2026 – EQ
In Short : Indosol Solar, backed by Shirdi Sai Electricals, plans to achieve 10 GW solar manufacturing capacity by 2026, leveraging government support under India’s PLI scheme. The company has begun production at its integrated Ramayapatnam facility, covering the full value chain from quartz to modules. With cutting-edge TOPCon and HJT technology, Indosol aims to reduce import dependence and boost domestic solar capacity.
In Detail : Indosol Solar, a subsidiary of Shirdi Sai Electricals, is gearing up to become a major force in India’s solar manufacturing sector. The company has set a target of achieving 10 GW of solar manufacturing capacity by 2026, aligning with India’s push for clean energy self-reliance.
A 500 MW solar module production line has already been commissioned at Ramayapatnam in Andhra Pradesh. This capacity is expected to double by the end of the year, forming the foundation of a fully integrated solar manufacturing facility.
The plant is designed to operate across the full solar value chain—from quartz to module—including metallurgical-grade silicon, polysilicon, ingot, wafer, cell, module, and solar glass production. This makes it one of the most ambitious integrated facilities in the country.
Indosol is utilizing advanced solar technologies like TOPCon and Heterojunction (HJT) to produce high-efficiency modules. These technologies are expected to enhance product quality and performance, making them globally competitive.
The company qualifies for support under the Indian government’s Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, which provides financial incentives for domestic manufacturing. This backing strengthens Indosol’s positioning in the national clean energy landscape.
Phase-1 of the project will see an investment of ₹15,000 crore, with 5 GW of capacity expected to be operational by 2025. The full 10 GW, including upstream materials and solar glass, will be commissioned by late 2026.
Once complete, the facility will be among the world’s first fully integrated quartz-to-module plants. This integration will allow better quality control, cost optimization, and faster scaling of operations.
The project aligns with India’s broader renewable energy goals of achieving 450 GW by 2030, including 300 GW from solar energy. Indosol’s capacity will contribute to reducing reliance on imported solar hardware.
Discussions are currently underway with potential investors and power offtakers. The company expects to finalize key partnerships soon, further solidifying its role in India’s expanding clean energy ecosystem.
