Kolkata-based solar module and cell manufacturer Websol Energy System has announced that the Government of Andhra Pradesh, through its Industries and Commerce Department, has issued a Government order approving the company's proposed greenfield 4 GW solar cell and solar module project.

The manufacturing facility is located at MPSEZ, Naidupeta, Tirupati district in Andhra Pradesh. This approval follows the Memorandum of Understanding signed with the Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board (APEDB) on November 15, 2025, the company said in a statement.

The Government of Andhra Pradesh has granted an incentive package for the allotment of land, fixed capital investment subsidy, power tariff reimbursement, electricity duty exemption, subsidy on industrial water charges and exemption from stamp duty and other registration charges, it said.

Commenting on the development, Sohan Lal Agarwal, Managing Director, Websol Energy System, said, “As India advances its renewable energy ambitions alongside the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative, the approval received from the Government of Andhra Pradesh allows Websol to make a meaningful and exciting contribution with its own expansion plans. The supportive industrial ecosystem in Andhra Pradesh provides a strong manufacturing platform for executing our 4 GW solar cell and 4 GW solar module growth strategy. We look forward to keeping our stakeholders updated on the developments of this expansion plan.”

The company further stated that, as part of the manufacturing facility, Websol is planning to develop a 100 MW captive solar power plant as well. The captive power plant will support reliable access to renewable energy for the manufacturing facility and result in operating cost efficiencies.
