The plant was inaugurated by Santosh Kumar Sarangi, Secretary, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) and Rajesh Kulhari, Joint Secretary, MNRE.
The Dadri solar cell plant has been strategically aligned with Fujiyama's existing manufacturing footprint. The company currently operates with a total of 1.6 GW of solar panel manufacturing capacity, of which 1.2 GW is located at Dadri. The newly added 1 GW solar cell capacity will be utilised entirely for captive consumption, the company stated.
Commenting on the commissioning, Pawan Kumar Garg, Chairman and Joint Managing Director, Fujiyama Power Systems, said, “The commissioning of our solar cell manufacturing facility at Dadri represents a significant step in strengthening Fujiyama's manufacturing integration. The project has been completed within a short period of six months, which is significantly faster than the timelines typically seen for similar projects in the industry, and has also been executed well with savings in the originally budgeted cost. By bringing solar cell production in-house, we are improving visibility and control across the value chain, reducing reliance on imported cells and improving supply reliability for our solar panel operations.”
He further added, “As our business is primarily focused on the domestic market with negligible export exposure, this integrated facility also insulates us from global trade uncertainties and tariff-related disruptions. This facility supports our objective of building Indian manufacturing capabilities and positions Fujiyama to profitably capitalise on end-to-end solar solutions as it continues to scale across India.”
The new facility will manufacture Mono PERC DCR solar cells, which will enable Fujiyama to tap into the consumer demand based on government subsidies. By establishing in-house solar cell manufacturing, Fujiyama is strengthening its supply-chain security, reducing dependence on imported solar cells and improving cost control, the company said, further adding that it gives Fujiyama a competitive advantage in its solar cell to rooftop solar consumers strategy.
