With this, Websol has doubled its total solar cell capacity to 1.2 GW, along with its existing 550 MW solar module line at the same facility. Funded entirely through internal accruals, the second solar cell line reflects the company's strong cash flow generation and conservative capital structure, the company said in a statement.
During the commissioning process at the Falta facility, certain activities required the temporary shutdown of the existing cell and module line for approximately 8 days. This has led to a one-time revenue impact during Q2 FY2026. Operations have since resumed as planned, with the successful commissioning of the additional 600 MW solar cell line, the company stated.
Commenting on the development, Sohan Lal Agarwal, Managing Director, Websol Energy System, said, “The commissioning of our additional 600 MW solar cell line marks a major step in Websol's growth journey. It reinforces our strategy of building a high-efficiency, horizontally integrated cell-to-module value chain, fully aligned with the Government of India's Atmanirbhar Bharat vision. With this development, Websol is further strengthening its market position and advancing its multi-gigawatt expansion roadmap to contribute to India's clean energy transition.”
Earlier this month, the company’s Board of Directors approved a phased expansion plan of its manufacturing capacity by a total of 4 GW of solar cells and 4 GW of solar modules through a wholly owned subsidiary. This expansion plan will result in a total investment of approximately INR 3,000 crore.
The company said that the additional solar cell capacity will be based on TOPCon technology. The expansion will be executed in two phases. In Phase-III, a 2 GW solar cell line and a 2 GW solar module line will be added by June 2027 and in Phase-IV, another 2 GW of solar cell line and 2 GW of solar module line will be added by June 2028.
