Avaada Group to Commission 6 GW Solar Cell Manufacturing Plant at ₹13,000 Crore in Nagpur, Maharashtra
Avaada Group is commissioning a 6 GW solar cell manufacturing plant in Nagpur, Maharashtra, in what is positioned as the largest solar cell production facility in India. The plant forms part of the company's ₹13,000 crore investment in domestic solar manufacturing infrastructure.
The Nagpur facility complements Avaada's existing 7 GW solar module manufacturing capacity. Together, the cell and module plants represent a backward integration strategy aimed at reducing India's dependence on imported solar cells, which currently constitute a significant share of the country's solar equipment procurement.
The company is also working towards building a fully integrated solar manufacturing ecosystem covering the entire value chain — polysilicon, ingots, wafers, cells, modules, and solar glass. The Nagpur solar cell plant is a key intermediate step in this vertical integration roadmap.
No specific commissioning date, employment figures, or technology partners have been disclosed in the available source. The project is expected to contribute to India's domestic solar manufacturing targets and supply chain resilience under the national renewable energy programme.
