The commissioning strengthens Vikram Solar's manufacturing capacity and supports India's domestic solar production goals. It may positively impact the company's market position and supply chain resilience, though the immediate market impact is limited as the plant is a long-term investment.

Solar Energy Manufacturing

Vikram Solar has formally commissioned its new photovoltaic solar module manufacturing plant at Gangaikondan, India — Tamil Nadu, India, with the rollout of the first module. The greenfield facility, spread across 600,000 sq ft, is expected to generate over 1,500 skilled jobs. The plant produces Hypersol N-Type TOPCon G12R modules with up to 23.69% efficiency and 615-640 Wp power. The company plans to add cell, wafer, and ingot manufacturing at the site, aiming for 9 GW solar cell capacity by FY27, 3 GW more by FY28, and 12 GW wafer/ingot capacity by FY29-30. Vikram Solar has crossed 10 GW cumulative global module deployments earlier this year.
