Adani Solar to boost capacity to 10 Gw

"In solar glass, there are only a few players, but not at the scale we desire.

Therefore, we now plan to manufacture these components in-house and integrate the supply chain," the senior company executive added.

In an emailed response, a spokesperson confirmed the development, saying that as part of their long-term strategy to build a resilient supply chain, Adani Solar is establishing one of India's most comprehensive and state-of-the-art solar manufacturing ecosystems in Mundra, Gujarat.

"In addition to modules, cells, ingots, and wafers, this also includes component manufacturing through joint ventures for glass, aluminium, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), backsheets, etc.," the spokesperson noted.

ANIL will set up an aluminium frame plant with a capacity of 10-12 gigawatt (Gw) and a similar capacity for backsheets. For glass, it plans to build 8 Gw of manufacturing capacity, according to a company executive.
