The facility will serve both the domestic and international solar markets, strengthening India’s position as a key player in the global solar supply chain. The Chikhli facility is equipped with state-of-the-art production lines, advanced automation, and strict quality control measures to ensure high efficiency and reliability. Besides technological advancements, the facility is expected to create jobs and contribute to industrial growth. With the first phase now operational, Waaree continues to lead the solar industry by delivering high-performance solar solutions, accelerating India’s transition toward a greener and more sustainable future.
