Vikram Solar announced the commissioning of its state-of-the-art Vallam manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu on November 26, 2025, adding 5 GW of advanced module production capacity. With this expansion, the company now commands a total manufacturing capacity of 9.5 GW, reinforcing its role as a top-tier, scale-driven player in solar technology.

Advanced Automation Technology

The Vallam plant represents a significant technological leap for India's clean energy ecosystem, incorporating sophisticated next-generation automation, much of it being deployed in the country for the first time. The facility seamlessly integrates intelligent robotics, advanced material-handling systems, comprehensive built-in quality checks, and fully automated packaging.

This elevated automation architecture enhances manufacturing precision, accelerates throughput, strengthens process reliability, and sets a new benchmark for operational excellence at scale.

The plant's advanced automation ensures consistent product quality, resulting in more reliable modules with lower failure rates and long-term durability. Automated precision drives higher performance and reduced degradation, translating into better energy yields over the product's life. With fewer defects, faster production, and improved supply reliability, customers benefit from predictable deliveries and shorter lead times.

Facility Specifications and Technology

Spanning 27,000 square meters, the plant is built on advanced TOPCon technology and engineered for seamless HJT upgrades. The facility is designed to support M10, G12, and G12R formats, underscoring Vikram Solar's commitment to future-ready technology leadership. Every module meets Tier-1 and international quality standards, giving customers confidence in safe, compliant, and globally benchmarked technology.

The facility is designed as a future-ready, large-scale manufacturing centerpiece that strengthens India's value chain. Modules manufactured at the Vallam facility will be supplied to customers across India, supporting utility-scale developers, C&I customers, and distributed generation projects as the nation accelerates toward its ambitious renewable energy goals.

Tamil Nadu Manufacturing Strategy

The commissioning of Vallam strengthens Vikram Solar's commitment to growing Tamil Nadu's clean-energy manufacturing ecosystem. The facility adds to the company's existing presence in Oragadam and follows the recent foundation ceremony for their upcoming Gangaikondan facility, marking another important milestone in the state. Together, these sites demonstrate Vikram Solar's long-term strategy of anchoring advanced solar manufacturing and green-tech innovation within Tamil Nadu, one of India's fastest-growing renewable energy hubs.

Reinforcing its commitment to inclusive growth, Vikram Solar is working toward achieving 40-50% gender diversity within the plant's baseline workforce, an important step toward creating a modern, equitable, and future-oriented manufacturing environment in India.

Leadership Statement and Company Background

Gyanesh Chaudhary, Chairman & Managing Director of Vikram Solar, stated: “Vallam is a defining milestone for Vikram Solar and for India's solar manufacturing story. Commissioning this 5 GW facility within the year was a bold commitment, and delivering on it signals our readiness for the scale, speed, and innovation the next decade demands.

As we complete over 20 years in this industry, this facility reflects our intent to shape what comes next: advanced manufacturing, automation-led quality, and technology platforms that become new benchmarks for the sector. Vallam strengthens India's value chain, and it reinforces our confidence that Indian clean tech can lead globally, not just participate.”
