Inox Solar’s new Bavla plant uses advanced automation to produce high-performance solar panels that generate power from both sides, increasing output, reliability and efficiency.
Inox Solar, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Noida-headquartered Inox Clean Energy, has commenced production at its state-of-the-art solar module manufacturing facility at Bavla in Gujarat. The first phase of the plant, with a capacity of 1.2 GW, is part of a larger 3 GW module manufacturing programme.
The fully automated facility incorporates advanced robotics and cutting-edge technology to produce N-type TOPCon solar modules using M10, G12R, and G12 solar cells. This globally recognised module architecture offers higher efficiency, lower degradation, and enhanced reliability. The bi-facial design enables dual-sided power generation, improving the capacity utilisation factor (CUF) and overall productivity.
“The first phase of our Bavla facility was completed within four months,” said Devansh Jain, Executive Director, INOXGFL Group. “This milestone reflects more than just capacity expansion; it signals India’s next leap towards energy independence. With the current shortfall in domestic solar cell manufacturing, integrated players such as INOXGFL are well-positioned to capitalise on emerging opportunities.”
Bharat Saxena, CEO and Whole-time Director, Inox Clean Energy, added, “Inox Solar is scaling up its capacity with advanced module technologies, fully aligned with India’s vision of self-reliance and sustainability in power generation. The commissioning of this phase reinforces INOXGFL Group’s credentials and leadership in the renewables sector.”
The facility, located near Ahmedabad, will be scaled up to its full 3 GW capacity in the second phase. In parallel, Inox Solar is developing a 4.8 GW integrated solar cell and module manufacturing facility in Dhenkanal, Odisha. The flagship project aims to bolster India’s domestic solar manufacturing ecosystem and reduce reliance on imports.
