Fujiyama Power Systems has commissioned a 1 GW solar cell manufacturing plant at Dadri, Uttar Pradesh, with an investment of INR 300 crore, strengthening its domestic manufacturing capabilities. The new facility supports the company's backward integration strategy by bringing solar cell production in-house, reducing dependence on imports and improving supply stability. The entire capacity will be used for captive consumption to support Fujiyama's solar panel operations, taking its total panel manufacturing capacity to 1.6 GW. Completed within six months, the plant will produce mono PERC DCR solar cells that comply with India's domestic content requirement (DCR) norms, enabling participation in government-backed solar programmes and reinforcing the push for local manufacturing in the renewable energy sector.
Fujiyama Power Systems has commissioned a 1 gigawatt solar cell manufacturing plant at Dadri in Uttar Pradesh, marking a key step in strengthening its in-house manufacturing capabilities. The company said the facility was developed with a total investment of INR 300 crore, funded through a mix of internal accruals and debt. Advertisement
Solar cells are a core component in the production of solar panels, and the government has been pushing domestic manufacturers to build local cell capacity to reduce reliance on imports. In line with this policy direction, Fujiyama's newly commissioned plant is expected to support backward integration and improve supply stability for its panel business.
With this addition, the company's overall solar panel manufacturing capacity stands at 1.6 GW, of which 1.2 GW is located at the Dadri site. The entire 1 GW solar cell capacity will be used for captive consumption, ensuring uninterrupted supply for its panel manufacturing operations.
Chairman and Joint Managing Director Pawan Kumar Garg said the move would improve control across the value chain by bringing solar cell production in-house. He noted that the integration would reduce dependence on imported cells and enhance supply reliability for the company's solar panel facilities.
The project was completed within six months and will manufacture mono PERC DCR series solar cells. These cells comply with domestic content requirement norms, allowing the company to cater to consumer demand linked to government subsidy-backed solar programmes.
India's DCR norms require solar projects to use panels made with domestically manufactured components, a policy aimed at supporting local manufacturing and lowering import exposure in the renewable energy sector.
