Tata Power subsidiary crosses 4 GW solar module production milestone at Tamil Nadu facility
TP Solar Limited (TP Solar), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), announced it has surpassed 4 GW in cumulative solar module production at its solar manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu. The milestone reflects production of 4,049 MW of solar modules and 1,441 MW of solar cells as of May 31, 2025.
The Tamil Nadu plant, developed to comply with India's Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) norms, is equipped to produce high-efficiency Mono PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell) and TopCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) modules. These are manufactured using automated and AI-driven technologies aimed at improving efficiency and throughput.
Looking ahead, TP Solar has outlined targets for FY26 to produce 3.7 GW of solar cells and 3.725 GW of solar modules, aligning with India's national goal of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.
The manufacturing facility supplies modules for Tata Power's diverse project pipeline, including utility-scale solar farms, hybrid energy parks, and distributed rooftop systems. It also fulfills requirements for third-party installations across the country.
TP Solar's Tamil Nadu facility is part of Tata Power's broader efforts to localize the solar energy supply chain and reduce import dependency. The plant's rated capacity of 4.3 GW is expected to be fully utilized by FY26.
In addition to its production capabilities, the plant integrates sustainability measures, including energy-efficient operations and green building standards. A key aspect of the facility is its workforce composition: more than 80% of shop floor employees are women, supporting broader inclusion in the clean energy manufacturing sector.
TPREL also operates a 682 MW solar module and a 530 MW solar cell facility in Bengaluru. This plant runs at full capacity and is focused on meeting DCR compliance needs.
With vertically integrated operations across manufacturing, engineering, and deployment, TP Solar is positioned to contribute significantly to India's clean energy transition.
