Tata Power’s TP Solar crosses 4 GW of solar module production at its TN plant

Tata Power’s solar manufacturing arm TP Solar on Monday said it has crossed 4 GW of solar module production at its Tamil Nadu plant. The plant has cumulatively produced 4,049 MW of solar modules and 1,441 MW of solar cells up to May 31, 2025.

TP Solar is targeting 3.7 GW of solar cell output and 3.725 GW of module production in FY26, further solidifying its commitment to supporting India’s clean energy transition, the company said. With its rated capacity of 4.3 GW expected to be fully realised in FY26, the plant would continue to support the nation’s target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.

Strategically built to comply with domestic content requirement (DCR) norms, the facility is equipped to manufacture next-generation Mono PERC (passivated emitter and rear cell) and advanced TopCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) modules using cutting-edge automated and AI-driven technologies. Tata Power Renewable Energy also has a 682MW solar module and a 530MW solar cell plant at Bengaluru, which operates at full capacity to support the DCR cells and modules production.

Future plans

Tata Power also reiterated its goal to strengthen solar supply chain resilience by reducing dependency on imports and enabling faster deployment of clean energy projects nationwide.

The facility is already supplying panels to meet Tata Power’s order book requirements—including utility-scale solar farms, hybrid energy parks and distributed rooftop systems as well as serving marquee third-party installations across the country, the company said.

Over 80 per cent of the Tamil Nadu plant’s shop floor workforce comprises women. Further, the plant has been built using green building principles, energy-efficient processes and resource-conscious design, minimising its environmental footprint.
