Onix Solar will design, manufacture, and supply 193,550 non-DCR TOPCon 620 Wp solar modules for the Vikran project.

Kosol Energie has announced a collaboration with Mafatlal Industries Ltd (MIL) for the installation of a 4 MWp (DC) ground-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant at its Nadiad unit for captive consumption.

Jakson Engineers Ltd will set up a high-tech solar PV module recycling plant capable of recycling around 5,00,000 PV modules, or approximately 13,500 tonnes of modules per year, recovering critical materials and enabling responsible end-of-life solar management. The recycling line will be supplied by Ecoprogetti.

Canada’s International Trade Tribunal is running an interim review of the country’s anti-dumping and countervailing duties on solar modules and laminates from China, following a request to exclude flexible solar panels that affix to curved surfaces.

Solex Energy Ltd has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Malaysia-based automation technology company TT Vision Holdings Berhad to collaborate on advancing solar manufacturing automation, engineering excellence, and talent development in India.

Waaree Energies has achieved an aggregate solar module manufacturing capacity of around 22.3 GW globally, comprising 19.7 GW in India and 2.6 GW in the United States, following a recent 1.5 GW expansion at its Samakhiali facility in Kutch, Gujarat.

The average share of renewable energy in the Indian textile industry’s total energy consumption increased from about 14% in FY2023 to nearly 18% in FY2025, according to a new report from ICRA ESG Ratings Ltd.

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that November brought above-average solar conditions in northern India and Pakistan, while southeastern India and Sri Lanka faced reduced solar output due to Cyclone Ditwah’s storms and heavy cloud cover. Despite southern disruptions, India’s renewable energy share rose, driven by strong solar generation in the north and overall growth in renewable capacity.

Researchers at India’s MIT World Peace University (MIT-WPU) have developed a Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) system capable of transporting hydrogen in a stable liquid form that is non-flammable, non-explosive, and manageable at normal temperatures and pressures. This breakthrough removes one of the biggest barriers slowing the widespread adoption of hydrogen in India.

Naxion Energy (formerly Sodion Energy) has introduced its sodium-ion–based energy storage systems for the residential and commercial & industrial sectors. The storage systems are available in 3.5 kW, 5 kW, and 10 kW models, and the batteries can be expanded to double the system’s storage capacity.
