As of H1 2024 India has reached an annual nameplate capacity of 77.2GW for modules and 7.6GW for solar cells, according to Mercom India.

Once complete, the project is intended to produce 5GW of tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) cells and 3GW of modules.

Alpex Solar's solar cell foray will be carried out in three phases with the first one adding 500MW annual nameplate capacity by October 2025.

By mid FY2026, Goldi Solar aims to increase PV module capacity from 3GW to 14GW, while it will build a 4GW solar cell plant by FY2027.

Tata Power to build a 2GW module plant in India, while Vikram Solar filed draft papers for its IPO and build a 3GW cell and module plant.

Solar manufacturer SEG Solar has started construction on a 5GW TOPCon vertically integrated – from ingots to modules – solar PV plant in Indonesia.

Gautam Solar estimated its investment in the 2GW TOPCon solar cell manufacturing plant to be nearly US$120 million.

Meyer Burger will scrap its proposed 2GW solar cell manufacturing plant in Colorado, claiming that the project is not 'financially viable'.

The site will produce n-type cells to support both manufacturers’ US cell requirements, Heliene said in a public statement. Details about the timeline and scope of the project will be released “shortly”.

Chinese solar manufacturing giant JinkoSolar will build a 10GW n-type solar cell and module manufacturing facility in Saudi Arabia.
