Tata Power today announced its step-down arm TP Solar Ltd has commenced commercial solar cell production at its 4.3 GW integrated cell and module plant in the Tirunelveli district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
TP Solar’s 4.3 GW factory in Tirunelveli is India’s largest single-location PV cell and module manufacturing plant. It is equipped to produce TOPCon and mono PERC cells and modules.
The solar cell production at the facility, currently at 2 GW capacity, follows the production of solar modules. The facility is expected to ramp up production with the remaining 2 GW capacity to be added over the next 4-6 weeks, reaching peak production within the next few months.
Praveer Sinha, CEO & managing director, Tata Power, said, “The commencement of cell production at our Tirunelveli plant is a significant step towards indigenisation in the solar value chain and achieving self-sufficiency. We are committed to making solar power accessible to all and ensuring a bright future for India, powered by renewable energy.”
The module production line at the Tirunelveli plant was commissioned in October 2023 and has produced 1,250 MW of solar modules till date.
