The application marks an important step in GREW Solar's commitment to supporting India's efforts to build a robust domestic solar manufacturing ecosystem. As the country accelerates its clean energy transition, strengthening indigenous solar cell manufacturing capabilities has become critical to enhancing energy security, supply-chain resilience, and long-term manufacturing self-reliance, stated the company.
Solar cells are the core building blocks of photovoltaic modules and play a critical role in determining the efficiency, reliability, and long-term sustainability of solar projects. As India advances towards its renewable energy targets and the vision of Viksit Bharat, expanding indigenous cell manufacturing capacity is expected to be instrumental in reducing import dependence and building a globally competitive solar manufacturing ecosystem, the company emphasised.
Commenting on the development, Vinay Thadani, Director and CEO, GREW Solar, said, “India's clean energy transition presents a significant opportunity to build world-class manufacturing capabilities alongside renewable energy deployment. The implementation of ALMM List-II represents an important step towards strengthening domestic manufacturing and creating a resilient solar ecosystem. Our state-of-the-art Solar PV cell manufacturing facility reflects GREW Solar's commitment to supporting the nation's vision of energy security, technological advancement, and manufacturing self-reliance. Strengthening domestic cell production capabilities will be essential for ensuring a sustainable solar industry for years to come.”
The Government of India has consistently emphasised the importance of developing domestic capabilities in critical renewable energy technologies. Industry stakeholders view solar cell manufacturing as a key enabler of a more integrated value chain, helping improve supply certainty, promote quality standards, and create long-term industrial competitiveness.
The ALMM framework has been introduced to promote quality, reliability, and traceability across India's solar sector while encouraging the development of domestic manufacturing capacities. As the industry continues to evolve, investments in solar cell manufacturing are expected to contribute significantly towards building a self-sufficient and future-ready renewable energy ecosystem.
