INOXGFL Group has announced its foray into solar manufacturing through Inox Solar, a privately held entity by the promoters.
Aiming to be one of the fastest growing solar platforms in the country, Inox Solar is targeting an initial capacity of 5 GW of solar modules and 2.5 GW of solar cell manufacturing capacity by 2026, at an outlined capex of Rs.1,500 crore.
Inox Solar’s first solar module manufacturing unit with initial capacity of 1.2 GW in Gujarat is expected to be operational by March 2025. The facility will manufacture TopCon modules.
EPC solutions
The company will also provide turnkey EPC solutions, including land acquisition and power evacuation, through its group company Inox Renewable Solutions Ltd (earlier known as Resco Global Wind Services Ltd.). Additionally, it will offer post commissioning O&M services through another group company Inox Green Energy Services.
Completing the value chain
For the INOXGFL Group, solar manufacturing is a natural extension as it completes the group’s interests across the entire renewable energy ecosystem, making it one of the deepest integrated group’s in India in the energy transition space – having a presence across EV, energy storage, wind, solar, green services etc.

- IGREL Renewables, the Group’s Renewables IPP platform, which is setting up 3 GW of hybrid RE capacity, to provide large order visibility for Inox Solar
