Adani Solar has achieved a major milestone by shipping more than 15,000 megawatts (MW) of solar modules across domestic and international markets, becoming the first and fastest Indian manufacturer to reach this feat.

Of the total shipments, 10,000 MW were supplied within India and 5,000 MW were exported, equivalent to 28 million solar modules covering nearly 7,500 football fields. Around 70 per cent of these modules were produced using Adani’s India-made solar cells, underscoring its contribution to the government’s Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat initiatives.

Adani Solar plans to more than double its manufacturing capacity from 4,000 MW to 10,000 MW by the next financial year and targets an additional 15,000 MW of shipments in the coming years.

The company is the only Indian manufacturer listed among the world’s top 10 solar module producers by global research firm Wood Mackenzie. According to Wood Mackenzie’s recent report, Perfect Storm in the Indian Solar Supply Chain, India’s solar module manufacturing capacity is projected to exceed 125 gigawatts (GW) by 2025 — more than triple the domestic demand of about 40 GW.

The report also highlighted India’s growing potential to emerge as a large-scale alternative to China’s solar supply chain dominance, despite short-term challenges in the sector.

With a retail presence in over 550 districts and 35 exclusive channel partners, Adani Solar operates India’s largest solar module distribution network, ensuring widespread availability of high-quality, locally produced solar products.

“Our 15,000 MW milestone reflects Adani Solar’s strong commitment to India’s energy independence and clean energy future,” said a company spokesperson.

The company’s milestone translates into tangible environmental and social benefits — powering five million homes with clean energy, creating 2,500 green jobs, avoiding 60 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually, and covering module installations equivalent to circling the Earth 1.5 times.

India’s solar manufacturing capacity has surged from 2.3 GW in 2014 to an estimated 100 GW by 2025, with more than 100 domestic manufacturers active in the sector. In the first half of FY26, India’s solar exports rose 20 per cent year-on-year to USD 668 million, led by strong demand from the United States, UAE, Kenya, Hungary, and Iran.

Adani Solar also leads India’s rooftop solar market, having supplied 1.78 GW of modules in the past year — enough to power nearly 594,000 homes. The company provides 54 per cent of the modules under the government’s Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, which aims to deliver solar power to 10 million households by 2027.

With over half of India’s installed power capacity already sourced from non-fossil fuels — five years ahead of its Paris Agreement target — the nation is firmly on track to achieve 500 GW of clean energy capacity by 2030.

Adani Solar, with its fully integrated manufacturing capabilities spanning ingots, wafers, modules, and ancillary materials such as solar glass, EVA, and aluminium frames, continues to play a pivotal role in India’s clean energy transition and long-term energy self-reliance.
