PVV Infra Ltd., a company engaged in solar rooftop installations, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board to establish a solar cells manufacturing facility in the State. The project represents an investment of Rs6.5 billion.

The new manufacturing unit will be set up in Visakhapatnam, near the airport, on a 30-acre industrial site within the region’s solar cells manufacturing cluster. According to the company, the development is expected to generate around 350 direct jobs and more than 450 indirect jobs.
