According to the company, it is a proud and inspiring moment for IB Solar, and reflects its continuous commitment towards supporting India’s clean energy transition and building a strong domestic solar manufacturing ecosystem. The company said it remains committed to the growth of solar energy in Uttar Pradesh and across India as it continues to expand its manufacturing footprint.
As part of its long-term growth vision, IB Solar is working towards strong backward and forward integration by expanding into key areas of the solar value chain, including solar cells, high-efficiency solar PV modules, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The company’s upcoming advanced manufacturing facility is expected to play a crucial role in reducing dependence on imports, enhancing supply chain efficiency, ensuring better quality control, and strengthening India’s self-reliance in renewable energy manufacturing.
Recently, IB Solar secured a Letter of Intent from the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) for the allotment of 25 acres of land for a proposed 2 GW solar cell and 1 GW module manufacturing facility near the Noida International Airport.
IB Solar currently operates a 1.8 GW solar manufacturing facility in Noida and is further expanding its capacity with a 5 GW fully automated solar module production line by the year-end. The company said the expansion would strengthen its backward and forward integration capabilities and support India’s renewable energy manufacturing ambitions.
By developing integrated manufacturing capabilities, IB Solar aims to create a seamless ecosystem spanning solar cell manufacturing, module production, and energy storage solutions, contributing significantly towards India’s renewable energy goals. The expansion is also expected to generate employment opportunities, boost industrial growth, and accelerate the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
