Grew Solar said on Wednesday that it aims to expand its solar photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturing capacity to 11 gigawatts (GW) at its Dudu (Jaipur) facility. With an existing 6.5 GW PV module facility in Dudu (Jaipur), Grew Solar is expanding capacity to 11 GW, alongside an 8 GW PV cell facility in Narmadapuram (Madhya Pradesh), the solar PV manufacturer said. Backed by a recent ₹300 crore fundraise, the company is accelerating its capacity expansion, R&D, and innovation roadmap, targeting completion by 2026, it added. Vinay Thadani, CEO & Director of Grew Solar, said: “As the country moves toward 500 GW renewable capacity by 2030 and energy independence by 2047, we are building a manufacturing ecosystem that ensures scale, efficiency, and reliability. Our focus is on combining advanced technology with execution strength to deliver solutions that strengthen India’s clean energy leadership.” Grew Solar also launched launched its G12R High-Power Series, which the company claims delivers up to 635 Watt Peak (Wp), is engineered for utility-scale efficiency, cutting total module count by 6–8 per cent per megawatt, reducing BOS (balance of system) costs, and improving logistics and installation timelines. With an optimised cell layout and enhanced mechanical strength, it offers 6–7 per cent higher container power density and 1.5–3 per cent more power per m² compared to standard TOPCon modules, it added. Mohammad Rihan, Director General of National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE), said: “It is encouraging to see companies like Grew Solar taking decisive steps toward advancing India’s renewable energy vision. The launch of the G12R High-Power Series reflects how Indian manufacturers are not just scaling capacity but also raising benchmarks in technology and quality.” Grew Solar’s COO Hardip Singh said the focus has always been on operational excellence and execution discipline. The Series is the result of close collaboration across Grew’s engineering, manufacturing, and R&D teams, all aligned toward building modules that deliver both performance and reliability at scale.
