The manufacturing centre is a greenfield project with 750 MW solar cells and 750 MW modules. It would produce MCCE-textured multi-crystalline solar cells and modules, mono PERC solar cells and modules, and 19.2% efficiency polycrystalline solar cells and modules.

The manufacturing facility will produce the latest technology products by using monocrystalline PERC technology. It can increase its wafer size to 182 mm and 210 mm.

The facility is ISO 9001/ ISO 14001 certified and uses state-of-the-art production systems like total quality control (TQC) and statistical process control (SPC).

It will increase the availability of high-quality solar cells, which are made in India to align with the government's initiatives of Atmanirbhar Bharat.
