Premier Energies has operationalised a 5.6 GW solar module manufacturing facility in Telangana, increasing its total module capacity to around 11.1 GW. The plant, spread over 75 acres, has begun trial production and uses advanced automation, including AI-based quality systems and zero busbar technology. The facility is expected to create about 2,000 jobs and cater to both domestic and export demand. This expansion is part of the company's larger INR 12,500 crore investment plan to build an integrated solar manufacturing ecosystem in India.
Premier Energies has commissioned a 5.6 GW solar module manufacturing facility at Seetharampur in Telangana, with trial production already underway. The plant has been developed through its wholly owned subsidiary and marks a key step in expanding its manufacturing footprint in the country. Advertisement
Spread across around 75 acres, the facility is equipped with automated production lines designed for high efficiency and scale. It is capable of producing up to four G12R TOPCon solar modules every 16 seconds. The company has also deployed zero busbar architecture and artificial intelligence-based systems for real-time defect detection, which helps improve quality and reduce wastage during manufacturing.
With the addition of this unit, Premier Energies total solar module manufacturing capacity has increased to about 11.1 GW. This positions the company among the larger domestic manufacturers and strengthens its ability to meet rising demand from both Indian and international markets, especially as solar installations continue to grow.
The management indicated that the new facility is an important step towards building an integrated solar manufacturing ecosystem. It explained that the company is focusing on expanding across the value chain, including upstream and downstream components, to improve efficiency, reduce dependency on imports, and offer better technology-driven solutions.
The project is also expected to generate around 2,000 employment opportunities, contributing to local economic activity in Telangana and supporting the broader renewable energy ecosystem in the region.
This development is part of the company's broader capital expenditure plan of nearly INR 12,500 crore over a three-year period. The investment is aimed at expanding capacity beyond modules into areas such as wafers, inverters, transformers, and battery storage solutions.
In the past, Premier Energies has taken steps to strengthen backward integration by investing in related manufacturing segments, including transformers and inverters. This approach is expected to give the company better control over its supply chain and improve cost efficiencies over time.
