Fujiyama Commissions 1 GW Solar Cell Plant In Uttar Pradesh

27 Jan 2026 CW Team

Fujiyama Power Systems has commissioned a 1 gigawatt solar cell manufacturing plant at Dadri, Uttar Pradesh, marking a significant expansion of its in-house manufacturing capabilities. The facility has been developed with a total investment of around Rs 3 billion, funded through a mix of internal accruals and debt.

Solar cells are a critical component in the production of solar panels, and the commissioning of the new plant aligns with the government’s push to strengthen domestic manufacturing and reduce reliance on imports. The move is expected to enhance supply chain resilience and improve integration across the solar value chain.

The company currently operates a total solar panel manufacturing capacity of 1.6 GW, of which 1.2 GW is based at Dadri. The newly added 1 GW solar cell capacity will be utilised entirely for captive consumption, supporting Fujiyama’s existing module manufacturing operations.

Commenting on the development, Pawan Kumar Garg, Chairman and Joint Managing Director of Fujiyama Power Systems, said the facility represents a key step in strengthening manufacturing integration. By bringing solar cell production in-house, the company aims to improve visibility and control across the value chain, reduce dependence on imported cells and enhance supply reliability for its solar panel business.

The project was completed within six months and will manufacture mono PERC DCR series solar cells, enabling Fujiyama to tap into growing consumer demand driven by government subsidies. The domestic content requirement norms mandate the use of locally manufactured components in solar projects, supporting the development of India’s domestic solar manufacturing ecosystem.
