Vikram Solar, a leading Indian solar module manufacturer, has entered into a domestic cell supply agreement with Avaada Electro, strengthening its position in India’s rapidly expanding Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) segment and reinforcing the resilience of its long-term supply chain.
Under the agreement, Avaada Electro will supply 1 GW of ALMM-compliant, domestically manufactured half-cut N-Type G12R TOPCon solar cells for Vikram Solar’s module manufacturing operations. Deliveries are scheduled to commence in September 2026, supporting consistent supply and operational continuity as demand for DCR-compliant solar modules continues to grow across India.
The agreement marks another step in Vikram Solar’s strategy to expand its presence in the domestic DCR market while diversifying and strengthening its cell supply chain. It adds to the supply agreements the company has entered into earlier this year and complements its broader backward-integration strategy.
Vikram Solar’s backward-integration plans are anchored by its upcoming 9 GW high-efficiency solar cell manufacturing facility, which is scheduled to be commissioned in Q4 FY27.
Gyanesh Chaudhary, Chairman & Managing Director, Vikram Solar, said:
“The next phase of India’s solar growth will be won or lost on supply chain depth, not just manufacturing scale. This arrangement is another step in that direction—one that widens our supplier base, strengthens our hand on DCR, and gives us the confidence to commit to India’s energy security with fewer variables outside our control. Atmanirbhar Bharat won’t be built by any single partnership; it’ll be built by companies that keep making these choices, year after year.”
Vikram Solar Limited is one of India’s leading solar module manufacturers, specializing in high-efficiency photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturing, with an international presence across 39 countries. Headquartered in Kolkata, West Bengal, the company is among India’s largest PV module manufacturers.
Vikram Solar has been recognized as a Top Performer by PVEL for nine consecutive editions of its PV Module Reliability Scorecard and has been included in the BloombergNEF Tier 1 solar PV module manufacturers list for nine consecutive quarters.
The company has established a pan-India presence through an extensive distribution network comprising 119 authorized distributors and more than 750 dealers.
