Solar manufacturer Pahal Solar has expanded its solar module manufacturing capacity to 3 GW. The company said the expanded capacity has been included in the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) as of Feb. 7, 2026, and is certified in accordance with BIS 2023 standards.
Paresh Shingala, chairman and managing director of Pahal Solar, said the capacity expansion, along with ALMM approval and BIS certification, reflects the company’s focus on scaling domestic manufacturing in line with government requirements.
Separately, Pahal Solar has begun construction of a new manufacturing complex in Surat after completing a Bhoomi Poojan ceremony. The facility will include a 2 GW TOPCon solar cell manufacturing unit and a 2 GW aluminium frame production unit. The company expects both units to be commissioned by late 2026.
