The Vallam facility adds to the company’s existing presence in Oragadam, Tamil Nadu, and follows the recent foundation ceremony for the upcoming Gangaikondan facility.
These sites form part of Vikram Solar’s strategy to anchor advanced solar manufacturing and green technology innovation in the state.
Vikram Solar chair and managing director Gyanesh Chaudhary said: “Vallam is a defining milestone for Vikram Solar and for India’s solar manufacturing story. Commissioning this 5GW facility within the year was a bold commitment, and delivering on it signals our readiness for the scale, speed, and innovation the next decade demands.
“As we complete over 20 years in this industry, this facility reflects our intent to shape what comes next: advanced manufacturing, automation-led quality, and technology platforms that become new benchmarks for the sector. Vallam strengthens India’s value chain, and it reinforces our confidence that Indian clean tech can lead globally, not just participate.”
Modules produced at the Vallam facility will be distributed throughout India, serving utility-scale developers, commercial and industrial customers, and distributed generation projects as India progresses towards its renewable energy targets.
