Waaree Energies Ltd has announced that its subsidiary, Sangam Solar One Pvt Ltd, has commissioned a 3 GW solar module manufacturing facility at Samakhiali in the Kutch district of Gujarat. The plant, which became operational on April 6, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., comprises four production lines of 750 MW each, significantly strengthening India’s domestic solar manufacturing capabilities.
Major Capacity Expansion in Gujarat
The new building is an extension of Waaree’s previous expansion at the same site. By November 2025, Sangam Solar One had already built two module manufacturing lines, each with a capacity of 750 MW. This brought the total capacity to 1.5 GW. Waaree has expanded its presence in Gujarat even more with the addition of the newest 3 GW facility. This strengthens its position as the leader in the solar manufacturing industry.
In November 2025, Waaree also ordered a 2.1 GW facility to be built in the village of Degam in the Navsari district of Gujarat. The company has added about 3.6 GW of solar module manufacturing capacity across all of its facilities thanks to these expansions.
Strengthening Domestic Manufacturing and Supply Chain
The growth is a big step toward making India energy-independent and able to make its own renewable energy. Waaree Energies can now make about 22.3 GW of solar panels around the world, and almost 19.7 GW of that capacity is in India. This shows how focused the company is on its home market.
The new facility is expected to enhance the domestic supply chain, reduce reliance on imported solar components, and solidify Waaree’s position as India’s largest solar module manufacturer. Each production line contributes 750 MW annually, improving operational efficiency and scalability.
Order Book Growth and Market Outlook
In other news, Waaree Energies has gotten a one-time order from an independent power producer (IPP) to send them 500 MW of solar panels. This order will be carried out in FY27. The company’s order book is currently worth about ₹600 billion (about $7.2 billion).
During the third quarter, Waaree produced 3.51 GW of solar modules and 0.75 GW of solar cells, supported by capacity additions and operational efficiencies. The company continues to expand across the solar value chain, including adjacent segments such as transformers and energy storage.
But Indian solar manufacturers, like Waaree, may have trouble because of how international trade works. The US Department of Commerce has put in place initial countervailing duties (CVD) of up to 126% on solar PV imports from India. This could affect the chances of exporting.
Competitive Landscape
Waaree operates in a competitive domestic market alongside key players such as Vikram Solar, Adani Solar, Tata Power Solar, and Goldi Solar, all of which are expanding their manufacturing capacities.
