Premier Energies commissions 7 GW solar cell manufacturing facility in Andhra Pradesh
Sep-21-2026

Premier Energies has commissioned its 7 GW N-type TOPCon G12R solar cell manufacturing facility at Naidupeta, Andhra Pradesh and starts trial runs, taking the company’s total solar cell capacity to 10.6 GW (India’s largest cell manufacturer). Spread across 101 acres and developed at a capital expenditure of Rs 3,293 crore, the facility is India’s largest solar cell manufacturing plant.

Built for high-throughput, digitally enabled manufacturing, the facility can produce around 88,000 solar cells per hour. Advanced digital systems and artificial intelligence support predictive performance analysis, tighter process control and precision manufacturing, while fully automated transport, packing and packaging systems improve throughput, consistency and operating efficiency. The commissioning materially expands the company’s manufacturing scale as India’s largest solar cell manufacturer and strengthens its ability to serve growing demand for high efficiency solar products across domestic and international markets.

The 7 GW plant is designed to be future-ready, with potential upgrades to next-generation TOPCon+ technologies, including poly-finger metallisation and advanced edge-isolation processes. Following stabilisation and ramp-up, the facility is targeting average solar cell efficiency of around 25.8%. A Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) system has been designed to maximise water recycling and reuse, reinforcing the company’s focus on responsible resource management and sustainable manufacturing.

Premier Energies manufactures integrated solar cell and solar panel.
