Inox Solar’s 4.8 GW green plant in Odisha to create 3,400 jobs

In a major stride towards bolstering India’s renewable energy ambitions, Inox Solar – a subsidiary of Inox Clean – has secured 78 acres of land in Dhenkanal, Odisha, to establish a cutting-edge solar cell and module manufacturing facility.

With a total investment of Rs 40 billion, the upcoming plant will have a capacity of 4.8 GW for both solar cells and modules, significantly contributing to the nation’s clean energy objectives.

The land allocation was approved by the Odisha government’s High-Level Clearance Authority (HLCA), underlining the state’s commitment to becoming a national hub for green energy. Beyond environmental advantages, the project is set to generate over 3,400 employment opportunities, driving both economic and sustainable growth in the region.

Devansh Jain, Executive Director of the INOXGFL Group, voiced his optimism, stating: “This strategic land allocation enables us to broaden our solar energy footprint, reinforcing our dedication to India’s clean energy goals.”

The initiative is closely aligned with the vision of Odisha’s Chief Minister, Mohan Charan Majhi, who advocates for sustainable industrial development and a transition to green energy.

This development not only underscores Inox Solar’s commitment to renewable energy but also firmly positions Odisha as a front-runner in advancing India’s green transformation
