The plant, operated by India’s largest PV module manufacturer, will reach a total capacity of 5.4 GW, including 4 GW of high-efficiency tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar cells set for commissioning in the next phase.
“The commencement of commercial production at our 1.4 GW mono PERC solar cell line is a significant step toward building a self-sufficient solar ecosystem,” said Waaree Energies CEO Amit Paithankar. “This facility aligns with the government’s Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat [self-reliant India] initiatives, reinforcing India’s energy independence.”
Waaree Energies said its Chikhli facility features state-of-the-art production lines, advanced automation, and stringent quality control measures, ensuring world-class efficiency and reliability.
The company, headquartered in Mumbai, operates manufacturing facilities with an installed capacity of 13.3 GW for PV modules (including 1.3 GW of Indosolar).
