The capacity of INA Solar to produce solar panels will increase to 1.2 GW, while its capacity to produce solar cells will increase to 500 MW over the following two to three years, "Gupta remarked.

The two of them currently have a 700 MW yearly manufacturing capacity. The company's plant at Daulatpura produces solar panels, batteries, and inverters.
