Inox Clean Energy said on Wednesday that its subsidiary, Inox Solar, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with LONGi (HK) Trading to supply up to 5 gigawatts (GW) of solar modules over the next three years for the Indian market. As part of the partnership, Inox Solar will work closely with LONGi to align with internationally benchmarked manufacturing and quality standards. The collaboration is expected to help reduce the time lag in adopting new solar innovations in India, supporting the broader goal of enhancing the technological capabilities of domestic manufacturers. This partnership reflects LONGi’s ongoing commitment to the Indian market and its support for the development of a robust, technologically advanced solar manufacturing ecosystem in the country. Devansh Jain, Executive Director of INOXGFL Group, said, “Collaborations such as this are vital in bringing global technology and quality benchmarks to the domestic industry.” By sharing expertise and global best practices, LONGi aims to empower local partners to deliver high-performance, reliable solar products. President of LONGi APAC Frank Zhao said, “Through knowledge sharing and technical cooperation, we aim to support the growth of high-quality solar manufacturing in the region, in line with India’s renewable energy goals.” Inox Solar has already commenced production at its state-of-the-art solar module manufacturing facility in Bavla (Gujarat), with an initial capacity of 1.2 GW. The facility is set to scale up further to 3 GW of module manufacturing capacity as part of its second-phase expansion in the next few weeks. Inox Solar is also establishing an integrated 5 GW solar cell and module manufacturing facility in Dhenkanal, Odisha. Kailash Tarachandani, Group CEO Renewables at INOXGFL Group, said, “Aligning with a global leader like LONGi allows us to accelerate our journey toward manufacturing excellence. This partnership will help ensure that the Indian market continues to have access to advanced and competitive solar technologies.” Published on October 29, 2025
