07 Jul 2025 CW Team

At full capacity, the plant will support annual sales of Rs 7-7.5 billion and generate employment for over 300 people.

Sharing more details, Uttam Patel, Director, H&H Aluminium, said,

“This will be India’s largest and most advanced solar panel aluminium frame plant at a single location and we were able to install it in a record time of just about a year. We are thankful to the state government and all concerned departments for their support. Currently, India imports 90–95 per cent of aluminium solar panel frames, with this plant, we are making a meaningful step towards supporting the Make in India initiative and promoting domestic manufacturing in the solar energy sector. We expect to start commercial production within next one month.”

On 29 September 2024, the Government of India imposed an anti-dumping duty for five years on imports of anodised aluminium frames for solar panels originating in or exported from China. This ranges from US$403 to US$577 per metric tonne (approximately 14 per cent), covering both specified and non-specified Chinese producers.

Commenting on industry prospects, Vijay Kaneria, Director, H&H Aluminium, said,

“India has achieved a historic milestone of 100 GW solar power capacity in 2025. In addition, government has set an ambitious target to install 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, with a significant portion, approximately 280 GW, expected to come from solar power. This represents a huge opportunity for solar power and allied industries over the next 5–10 years.”

Founded to advance the renewable energy sector, H&H Aluminium manufactures high-quality solar frames that meet ASTM and IEC standards for strength, durability and weather resistance. The Rajkot facility is equipped with SCADA and IoT-enabled production lines, a full-scale quality lab, in-house R&D for customisation, and a zero-liquid discharge anodising unit.

The company’s frames are RoHS and REACH compliant, free from hazardous substances and 100 per cent recyclable, supporting India’s sustainable energy goals.

H&H Aluminium has announced the commencement of trial production at its new 28,000 sq metre solar panel aluminium frame facility in Rajkot. Built with an investment of around Rs 1.5 billion, the state-of-the-art plant is among the most advanced of its kind in India. Commercial production is expected to begin within a month. At full capacity, the plant will support annual sales of Rs 7-7.5 billion and generate employment for over 300 people.
