Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Limited (IREDA) has sanctioned a ₹1,134 crore loan to Insolation Green Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary, to support the establishment of a 4.5 GW solar cell manufacturing plant in Madhya Pradesh. This project marks a significant step in the group’s comprehensive solar integration strategy.

Approval Boosts Renewable Plans with ₹1,134 Crore Solar Initiative

The sanctioned loan will fund a significant portion of the ₹1,512 crore total project cost. The balance amount of ₹378 crore will be managed through internal accruals. The facility will be built in the Manufacturing Zone for Power and Renewable Energy in the Narmadapuram district. This initiative advances the company’s backward and forward integration in the solar value chain, aiming to reduce reliance on imported components.

Facility to Strengthen Solar Manufacturing Ecosystem

Once operational, the manufacturing unit will significantly amplify the group's production capacity. In the next 2 years, the group aims to achieve 7 GW of PV module manufacturing, 4.5 GW of solar cell production, and 18,000 MTA of aluminium frame output. The phased growth also includes the addition of 3 GW of ingot and wafer manufacturing by 2028.
