Inox Solar Starts Production, Eyes Expansion of Solar Module Capacity
Imagine a company called Inox Solar that makes solar panels.
They just started producing these panels in a new factory in India!
This factory can currently make enough panels to create 1.2 gigawatts of solar power.
The company plans to make even more panels, hoping to reach 3 gigawatts in the same location.
They're using advanced technology to make these panels extra efficient.
Inox Solar also plans to build another factory that can make both solar cells and modules in a different part of India.
This helps India make its own solar equipment instead of buying it from other countries.
Inox Solar has begun production at its solar module manufacturing facility in Bavla, Gujarat.
The facility uses fully-automated technology and manufactures N-type TOPCon solar modules.
The initial production capacity is 1.2 GW from a planned 3 GW plant.
The company is expanding and also building a 4.8 GW solar cell-plus-module facility in Odisha.
The expansion aims to boost domestic solar manufacturing and reduce import reliance.

Executive Director, INOXGFL Group
“The first phase completion of our Bavla facility has been achieved within four months… With the current deficit in the domestic solar cell manufacturing capacity, large conglomerates such as INOXGFL with integrated offerings are primed to benefit from the large-scale opportunities that the sector holds.”
