Inox Solar Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Inox Clean Energy Limited, on Monday said that it has started production at its new solar module manufacturing facility in Bavla, Ahmedabad.

This state-of-the-art unit has gone live with a first-phase capacity of 1.2 GW, forming part of a planned 3 GW plant.

"The fully-automated plant, equipped with cutting-edge technology, manufactures most advanced N-type TOPCon solar modules using M10, G12R, and G12 solar cells. This globally recognized module technology is the latest in solar manufacturing, offering higher efficiency, lower degradation, and superior reliability, making them the benchmark for modern solar installations. The bi-facial modules further enable dual-sided power generation, boosting capacity utilization factor (CUF) and overall productivity," said the company in a statement.

The company further said that the Bavla plant will scale to its full 3 GW capacity in a second phase. Parallelly, Inox Solar is setting up a 4.8 GW integrated solar cell and module manufacturing facility in Dhenkanal, Odisha. Together, these projects are expected to bolster India’s domestic solar manufacturing ecosystem, reduce import reliance, and strengthen the country’s role in global renewable supply chains.

“The first phase completion of our Bavla facility has been achieved within four months’ time. This milestone is not just about expanding capacity—it’s about India taking one more giant leap towards energy independence. With the current deficit in the domestic solar cell manufacturing capacity, large conglomerates such as INOXGFL with integrated offerings, are primed to benefit from the large-scale opportunities that the sector beholds,” said Devansh Jain, Executive Director, INOXGFL Group.

Bharat Saxena, CEO and Whole-time Director, Inox Clean Energy said, “Inox Solar is expanding its capacities offering advanced technology solar modules and is fully aligned with the nation’s ambition of self-reliance and sustainability in power generation. The commissioning of the first phase reinforces INOXGFL Group’s credentials and strengthens our leadership in the renewables space.”
