Tata Power Solar Systems Ltd has announced a significant expansion of its manufacturing facility in Bengaluru, taking the total production capacity of cells and modules to 1,100 mw per year.
Rationale
The expansion is based on the significant increase in demand that the company has seen for its solar modules, as well as the expected increase in demand due to supportive policy steps announced recently by the Government of India for creating ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’, Tata Power said in a release.
Following the expansion, solar cell manufacturing capacity has increased from 300 mw to 530 mw and that of solar modules from 400 mw to 580 mw.
Tata Power Solar has seen an increase in demand for its products which reaffirms the faith customers put in the quality of its products. The expansion comes amid the positive intent of the Government of India towards making this country a manufacturing hub and lessen its dependency on other countries as far as import of solar cells and modules is concerned.
Tata Power Solar’s pending order book was around Rs.10,000 crore, as of April 1, 2021.
