Tata Power's Nellai solar plant sets benchmark
The New Indian Express Nagapattinam
|May 18, 2025
The Tirunelveli-based plant operated by Tata Power's solar manufacturing arm, TP Solar, produced 3.3 gigawatts (GW) of solar modules and 846 megawatts (MW) of solar cells in the financial year ending March 2025, marking one of the highest domestic outputs in India's solar sector.
The facility is setting new standards, not only in production but also in workforce diversity. Over 80 per cent of the plant's employees are women from local communities, a rare benchmark in Indian manufacturing and a clear signal of inclusive industrial growth, a release stated.
The facility, among the country's most advanced integrated solar manufacturing units, has emerged as a key pillar of Tata Power's clean energy ambitions and a symbol of India's drive toward energy self-reliance.
