TP Solar Ltd, the solar manufacturing arm of Tata Power, recorded strong manufacturing performance during the first nine months (9M: April to December) of FY26, a company release said.
During this period, TP Solar manufactured 2.8 GW of DCR solar cells and 2.9 GW of solar modules. Out of 2.9 GW modules, 2.4 GW were DCR (domestic content requirement) modules and balance 0.5 GW were ALMM (approved list of module manufacturers) modules.
In Q3FY26, TP Solar manufactured 940 MW of cells compared to 196 MW in the corresponding period last year, registering nearly five-time year-on-year increase. Module production stood at 990 MW against 927 MW in the same period last year, reflecting an approximately 7 per cent year-on-year growth. These results underscore the TP Solar consistent capacity ramp-up and improving operational efficiency.
TP Solar operates one of India’s largest single-location state of the art, 4.3 GW solar cell and module manufacturing facility in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu. TP Solar is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd, in turn a subsidiary of Tata Power.
The facility is also distinguished by a workforce comprising nearly 80 per cent women, reflecting the company’s strong commitment to inclusive workforce.
Tata Power, through its subsidiary TPREL, has invested nearly Rs.4,300 crore in establishing this facility. The investment represents a significant milestone in advancing indigenization across the solar value chain and reinforces Tata Power’s strategic focus on achieving self-sufficiency in solar cell and module manufacturing.
Equipped with advanced TOPCon and Mono PERC technologies, the plant produces ALMM-certified modules as also DCR modules using Made-in-India cells in this plant.
The facility aligns with the Tata Power’s commitment to supporting India’s vision for a Net-Zero carbon future with local manufacturing capabilities.
