Mumbai, July 16 -- Premier Energies has commissioned a five point six gigawatt (GW) solar module plant in Telangana as part of a Rs 125 billion (bn) capital expenditure plan. The facility expands the company's manufacturing footprint and will produce photovoltaic modules for utility scale and distributed projects. The commissioning marks a significant step in the firm's strategy to scale domestic module output. The plant's commissioning follows completion of construction and equipment installation overseen by the company's engineering teams.
The plant will increase domestic module manufacturing capacity and strengthen the supply chain for renewable energy projects across India. It integrates automated production lines and quality testing to meet industry standards and support consistent module supply. The project also encompasses facilities for downstream assembly and logistics coordination. Quality assurance processes are integrated into production to ensure long term performance and warranty compliance.
The Rs 125 billion (bn) capex plan under which the plant was built reflects an ambition to address rising demand for clean power equipment. Premier Energies is deploying advanced cell and module technologies at the site and has established links with suppliers to secure critical inputs. The investment underpins the company's objective to enhance competitiveness in both domestic and export markets. The company has outlined a roll out plan for commercial deliveries to project developers and energy firms.
Five point six GW equals 5,600 megawatt (MW) of module production capacity and positions the company among larger domestic manufacturers. The plant, situated in Telangana's industrial belt, is set to generate employment and create opportunities for ancillary industries in the region. The development aligns with broader industry efforts to bolster local manufacturing capability and energy transition targets. The site also includes warehousing and testing laboratories to support ongoing operations and after sales services.
