Premier Energies Opens 5,600 MW Solar Plant at Seetharampur

Premier Energies inaugurated a new solar module manufacturing facility at Seetharampur, bringing 5,600 megawatt (MW) of annual module capacity online. The plant, described by the company as a large-scale module production unit, will manufacture modules for domestic project developers and for shipment to overseas markets. The facility represents an expansion of the firm's manufacturing footprint and adds industrial capacity in the region.

The Seetharampur facility incorporates automated production lines and quality testing systems designed to yield high-efficiency modules that meet international standards. The site is configured to support diverse module technologies and to integrate incoming wafer and cell inputs into finished panels within a single facility. The configuration is intended to improve manufacturing turnaround and reduce logistical complexity for project suppliers.

Premier Energies positioned the investment as part of a broader strategic push to strengthen domestic solar manufacturing and to support national renewable energy targets. The company indicated that the new capacity will enhance supply chain resilience and provide a closer source of modules for utility scale and distributed generation projects. The launch aligns with industry efforts to deepen localisation and to develop manufacturing ecosystems for clean energy.

Local economic activity around Seetharampur is anticipated to benefit from increased industrial operations and supplier engagement without specifying employment figures. Stakeholders in the renewable sector said the plant will add certainty to project pipelines that rely on domestically produced modules. The commissioning of the plant adds notable capacity to the country's manufacturing base and signals continued private sector momentum in solar module production.

Looking ahead, the company signalled plans to leverage the Seetharampur plant as a platform for incremental capacity additions and continuous process improvements. The operation is also expected to foster closer collaboration with module component suppliers and project developers. The emphasis remains on scaling output while upholding quality standards.
