Avaada Group is poised to strengthen India’s renewable energy manufacturing capabilities with the commencement of operations at its new solar cell manufacturing facility in Nagpur next month. The development represents a significant step towards enhancing domestic production and reducing reliance on imported solar components.
The upcoming facility, developed by Avaada Electro, is designed to produce solar cells with a capacity equivalent to 6,000 MW of power generation, making it the largest solar cell manufacturing unit in the country. The plant forms a key part of the company’s strategy to establish a comprehensive solar manufacturing ecosystem in India.
Avaada’s Nagpur manufacturing complex already includes a solar module production unit with an annual capacity of 7,000 MW. The company is now expanding the site to incorporate additional capabilities across the solar value chain, including polysilicon, ingot, wafer and cell manufacturing. These additions are expected to be implemented in phases over the coming year.
By the end of 2026, Avaada aims to create a fully integrated solar manufacturing hub capable of producing everything from ingots to finished solar modules under one roof. The initiative is expected to support India’s efforts to strengthen supply chain resilience and increase self-sufficiency in the renewable energy sector.
The company is also evaluating plans to establish a solar glass manufacturing facility in Nagpur, further deepening localisation within the solar equipment supply chain.
The overall project entails an investment of approximately Rs 13,000 crore, with around Rs 5,000 crore already deployed. Alongside its manufacturing expansion, Avaada Electro is advancing preparations for a public listing while broadening its portfolio of next-generation solar products and technologies.
