Tata Power’s Solar Manufacturing Arm (TP Solar) Crosses 4 GW of Solar Module Production at Its Tamil Nadu Facility

Tata Power’s Solar Manufacturing Arm (TP Solar) Crosses 4 GW of Solar Module Production at Its Tamil Nadu Facility

TP Solar Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL) and the manufacturing arm of The Tata Power Company Limited (Tata Power), today announced that it has crossed 4 GW solar module manufacturing at its Tamil Nadu plant.

The plant has cumulatively produced 4049 MW of solar modules and 1441 MW of solar cells upto 31st May’2025.

With a strategic focus on scaling up production, the Company is targeting 3.7 GW of solar cell output and 3.725 GW of module production in FY26, further solidifying its commitment to supporting India’s clean energy transition.

Strategically built to comply with Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) norms, the facility is equipped to manufacture next-generation Mono PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell) and advanced TopCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) modules using cutting-edge automated and AI-driven technologies. The ramp-up aligns with Tata Power’s goal to strengthen India’s solar supply chain resilience by reducing dependency on imports and enabling faster deployment of clean energy projects nationwide.

Tata Power’s Solar Manufacturing Arm (TP Solar) Crosses 4 GW of Solar Module Production at Its Tamil Nadu Facility

The facility is already supplying panels to meet Tata Power’s order book requirements—including utility-scale solar farms, hybrid energy parks, and distributed rooftop systems as well as serving marquee third-party installations across the country.

With its rated capacity of 4.3 GW expected to be fully realized in FY26, the plant would continue to support the nation’s target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.

Beyond its technological prowess, the Tamil Nadu facility also stands out for its inclusive and sustainability-first approach. Over 80% of the plant’s shop floor workforce comprises women, reflecting Tata Power’s strong focus on gender diversity and equitable job creation in advanced manufacturing. The plant itself has been built using green building principles, energy-efficient processes, and resource-conscious design, minimizing its environmental footprint.

As one of India’s largest vertically integrated solar players, TP Solar is driving innovation and scale across the clean energy value chain—from manufacturing and engineering to deployment and digital energy services. The ramp-up of this 4.3 GW facility positions the company as a key enabler of India’s clean energy independence, while advancing the global movement toward sustainable energy security.

TPREL also has a 682MW solar module and a 530MW solar cell plant at Bengaluru, which operates at full capacity to support the DCR Cells and Modules production.

NTPC Renewable Energy Wins 300MW Solar Project in NHPC’s Tender

NTPC Renewable Energy Wins 300MW Solar Project in NHPC’s Tender

NTPC Renewable Energy Limited (NTPC REL), a wholly owned subsidiary of NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL), has emerged as a successful bidder in the e-reverse auction conducted by NHPC Limited. The tender aimed at the “Selection of Solar Power Developers for Setting up of 1200 MW (1.2 GW) ISTS (Inter State Transmission System) Connected Solar Power Projects with 600MW/1200MWh Energy Storage Systems (ESS) on an anywhere-in-India basis under Tariff Based Competitive Bidding with Green Shoe Option.”

NTPC REL secured a capacity of 300MW at a tariff of ₹3.09/kWh. In line with the Request for Selection (RFS) conditions, the project will include the establishment of an Energy Storage System (ESS) with a capacity of 150MW/300MWh, ensuring enhanced reliability and efficiency of the solar power generation.

The auction was concluded on 23rd January 2025, and NTPC REL is now awaiting the issuance of the Letter of Award (LOA) from NHPC Limited.

Uttar Pradesh to Get India's 1st Solar Expressway, Supplying Electricity to 60,000 Households

Uttar Pradesh to Get India's 1st Solar Expressway, Supplying Electricity to 60,000 Households

The Uttar Pradesh government is planning to establish a solar power plant along the Bundelkhand Expressway. This project aims to transform the expressway into the country's first "solar expressway".

The Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) has identified 1,500 acres for the project, which is expected to generate 450 megawatts of renewable energy. This capacity is sufficient to supply electricity to around 60,000 households. 

The project will be implemented under a public-private partnership (PPP) model, with an estimated investment of ₹2,500 crore. The government has already held stakeholder consultations and plans to present the proposal for cabinet approval soon.

This initiative is part of a broader push to promote solar energy in the state and address the growing electricity demand.

Last year in October, eight solar power developers have had given presentations before the state government authorities on the project. These companies include Tusco Ltd, Torrent Power Ltd, Somaya Solar Solutions Pvt Ltd, 3R Management Ltd, Avaada Energy Ltd, Atria Brindavan Power Ltd, Erisha E Mobility, and Mahapreit.

The Bundelkhand Expressway spans 296 km (184 miles) and is a four-lane wide road, expandable to six lanes. It connects Kudrail village on the Agra–Lucknow Expressway in Etawah district to Gonda village on NH-35 in Chitrakoot district. It passes through seven districts: Etawah, Auraiya, Jalaun, Hamirpur, Mahoba, Banda, and Chitrakoot.

The plan is to cover this area with solar panels, separating agricultural land and installing fencing. The project is part of the state's Solar Energy Policy 2022, aiming to achieve 22,000 MW of solar power by 2026-27.

This expressway is expected to boost connectivity and economic development in the Bundelkhand region, and the planned solar power plant along the expressway will further enhance its sustainability and energy efficiency.

To recall, Uttar Pradesh already boasts of having India's first expressway powered by solar energy. Inaugurted in 2018, Kundli-Ghaziabad-Palwal (KGP) Expressway is India's first solar-powered expressway, featuring eight solar power plants along its 135 km length. The Indian government is working on 26 solar-powered expressways, which will facilitate the charging of heavy-duty trucks and buses. These expressways will also feature intelligent traffic systems to enhance road safety.
