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.
