The plant has cumulatively produced 4049 MW of solar modules and 1441 MW of solar cells up to 31st May’2025.

With a strategic focus on scaling up production, the Company is targeting 3.7 GW of solar cell output and 3.725 GW of module production in FY26, further solidifying its commitment to supporting India’s clean energy transition.

Strategically built to comply with Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) norms, the facility is equipped to manufacture next-generation Mono PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell) and advanced TopCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) modules using cutting-edge automated and AI-driven technologies. The ramp-up aligns with Tata Power’s goal to strengthen India’s solar supply chain resilience by reducing dependency on imports and enabling faster deployment of clean energy projects nationwide.

The facility is already supplying panels to meet Tata Power’s order book requirements—including utility-scale solar farms, hybrid energy parks, and distributed rooftop systems as well as serving marquee third-party installations across the country.

With its rated capacity of 4.3 GW expected to be fully realized in FY26, the plant would continue to support the nation’s target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.

Beyond its technological prowess, the Tamil Nadu facility also stands out for its inclusive and sustainability-first approach. Over 80% of the plant’s shop floor workforce comprises women, reflecting Tata Power’s strong focus on gender diversity and equitable job creation in advanced manufacturing. The plant itself has been built using green building principles, energy-efficient processes, and resource-conscious design, minimizing its environmental footprint.

As one of India’s largest vertically integrated solar players, TP Solar is driving innovation and scale across the clean energy value chain—from manufacturing and engineering to deployment and digital energy services. The ramp-up of this 4.3 GW facility positions the company as a key enabler of India’s clean energy independence, while advancing the global movement toward sustainable energy security.

TPREL also has a 682MW solar module and a 530MW solar cell plant at Bengaluru, which operates at full capacity to support the DCR Cells and Modules production.
