TP Solar, a subsidiary of Tata Power Renewable Energy (TPREL) has announced the commencement of commercial production from the two GW solar cell line at its manufacturing facility in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, positioned as the country’s largest single-location solar cell and module plant.

This milestone follows the successful production of solar modules earlier this year, supporting India’s clean energy transition goals, with reduced reliance on imports. The solar cell production, currently at two GW capacity will enhance Tata Power's ability to meet the demand for domestically produced solar components, especially for large-scale capacity-addition projects.

The plant is expected to see production augmentation with the remaining two GW capacity to be added over the next four to six weeks, to reach peak production within the next few months.

Having a total cell & module manufacturing capacity of 4.3 GW, the module production line at the Tirunelveli plant was commissioned in October 2023 and has produced 1,250 MW of solar modules till date.
