The company is reviewing its plans to establish a 1.2 GW solar cell manufacturing facility in the U.S. due to ongoing policy uncertainty in the market. No formal negotiations have been conducted with potential partners regarding this initiative.

In August 2024, Premier Energies launched an initial public offering (IPO) worth ?28.30 billion (~$337.4 million), which received significant interest from investors, with the issue being subscribed over 74 times.
