According to market reports, India’s Jindal Stainless Limited (JSL) and Oyster Renewable Energy Limited (OREL) have partially commissioned a 315.6 MW hybrid solar-wind power project. The first phase (216 MW) in Madhya Pradesh is now operational, with the remaining 99.5 MW in Gujarat launching soon. Developed by OREL, the project entails a total investment of $211 million, including a $14 million contribution from JSL. This facility integrates bifacial solar modules and 3.15 MW wind turbines to ensure a stable clean energy supply for industrial use. Once fully operational, the project will help JSL reduce its carbon emissions by approximately 650,000 mt per year, highlighting its transition toward green stainless steel production.

Premier Energies Ltd has started trial production at its 5.6 GW solar module manufacturing facility in Seetharampur, Telangana, producing G12R TOPCon modules with zero-busbar ('0BB') architecture. This new 75-acre factory boosts the company's total module capacity beyond 10 GW. The highly automated plant can produce up to four modules every 16 seconds and uses 'AI'-powered fault detection. Company executives highlighted the facility's role in scaling integrated manufacturing and supporting India's clean energy goals. Premier Energies is also executing a $1.38 billion capital expenditure plan over three years to double its capacity, expand into ingots and wafers, and diversify into inverters and battery systems.

Reliance Industries secured a binding 15-year, $3 billion agreement to supply green ammonia to South Korea's Samsung C&T starting in FY2029. This landmark deal supports India's 'National Green Hydrogen Mission' and underpins Reliance's integrated new energy platform, which features in-house manufacturing of solar modules, 'BESS', and electrolyzers. The partnership is a major step in Reliance's strategy to become a leading global exporter of cost-competitive green fuels.

India's Solarium Green Energy has commissioned a 1 GW fully automated solar module facility in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Backed by an INR 900 million investment, the plant manufactures high-efficiency 'G12' modules up to 725 Wp using 'TOPCon', half-cut, and bifacial technologies. This move toward backward integration aims to secure Solarium's 'EPC' supply chain, boost margins, and potentially generate over INR 10 billion in annual revenue.

India added 119 GW of solar module manufacturing capacity and over 9 GW of cell capacity in 2025, bringing cumulative totals to 210 GW and 27 GW, respectively. According to a new report from Mercom India, this massive expansion was driven by a robust utility-scale pipeline, the 'PM Surya Ghar' residential rooftop program, and the domestic cell mandate under 'ALMM List II'. With declining demand for mono PERC and rising capital requirements shifting market share toward larger, more efficient manufacturers. On the trade front, India imported 99 GW of solar modules and cells in 2025 (which solar cells accounts for 75%), while domestic players exported around 5 GW of modules, predominantly to the US, and 192 MW of cells, mostly to the UAE.

RenewSys India has inaugurated a 3 GW 'AI-powered', fully automated solar module manufacturing facility in Khopoli, Maharashtra, expanding its total module capacity to 5.6 GW. The 65,000 sqm plant integrates advanced production technologies and digital monitoring systems to ensure consistent product quality for its 'TOPCon G12R' modules. Located near Mumbai, the site offers strong multimodal connectivity to enhance supply chain efficiency for both domestic and export markets. Looking ahead, RenewSys targets 24 GW of total PV component capacity and plans to install a 4.5 GW solar cell production line by fiscal year 2026-27.
