True self-reliance, mastering wafers, cells, modules and not just assembling panels, is required for building a strong solar future in India. GREW Solar is at the forefront of this transformation with 11 GW PV module capacity by 2026 and a ₹3,000+ crore 8 GW solar cell facility. Vinay Thadani shares that the company is strengthening domestic supply chains, creating jobs and advancing global solar leadership. Learn more from him.

How can India overcome supplychain challenges to achieve full solar manufacturing self-reliance while driving innovation and global leadership?

Self-reliance in solar manufacturing goes far beyond assembling panels. It requires building an end-to-end ecosystem, spanning ingots and wafers, high-efficiency cells and advanced modules. By true independence, we mean mastering every stage of the value chain, reducing external dependencies and driving innovation from within.

At GREW Solar, we see this as both a responsibility and an opportunity. Our expansion to 11GW solar PV Module manufacturing capacity at Dudu Rajasthan by 2026 and our upcoming ₹3,000+ crore investment in a 8 GW PV solar cell manufacturing facility at Narmadapuram, Madhya Pradesh, mark a decisive stride toward this vision. Spanning 60 acres, the plant aims to a three-stage backward integration design and is equipped with state-of-the-art TOPCon solar cell technology. Beyond technological advancement, it will create more than 1,000+ new jobs, bolster domestic supply chains and reinforce India’s position as a rising leader in the global solar landscape.
