TP Solar Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL) and the manufacturing division of Tata Power, has announced a major production milestone鈥攃rossing 4 GW of solar module output at its advanced facility in Tamil Nadu.
As of 31 May 2025, the plant has cumulatively manufactured 4.049 GW of solar modules and 1.441 GW of solar cells. This milestone underscores the company鈥檚 growing role in supporting India鈥檚 clean energy transition and self-reliance in renewable energy manufacturing.
Looking ahead, TP Solar is targeting 3.7 GW of solar cell output and 3.725 GW of solar module production for FY26. With its rated capacity of 4.3 GW expected to be fully achieved during the same period, the facility is on track to significantly contribute to India鈥檚 ambition of reaching 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.
The plant, built to meet Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) norms, produces next-generation Mono PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell) and TopCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) modules. These are manufactured using AI-driven automation and cutting-edge production technologies, enhancing both efficiency and scalability.
TP Solar鈥檚 output is already being deployed across Tata Power鈥檚 own project pipeline鈥攊ncluding utility-scale farms, hybrid parks, and rooftop systems鈥攚hile also serving major third-party installations nationwide. This expansion strengthens India鈥檚 solar supply chain, reducing reliance on imports and enabling quicker project rollouts.
Beyond its manufacturing capability, the Tamil Nadu facility is also recognised for its inclusive workforce and sustainability-driven operations. More than 80 per cent of its shop-floor staff are women, reflecting Tata Power鈥檚 focus on gender diversity in high-tech industries. The plant adheres to green building principles, with energy-efficient operations and minimal environmental impact.
In addition to the Tamil Nadu unit, Tata Power operates a 682 MW solar module and a 530 MW solar cell plant in Bengaluru, both running at full capacity to meet DCR-related production needs.
As one of India鈥檚 largest vertically integrated solar manufacturers, TP Solar is playing a critical role in enabling the country鈥檚 clean energy goals鈥攄riving innovation, enhancing supply chain resilience, and setting benchmarks for sustainable industrial growth.
