Vikram Solar, one of India's leading solar PV module manufacturers, has secured a 187 MW module supply order from a leading renewable energy developer.

The order, announced from Kolkata on 15 October 2026, covers solar projects at three locations across the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

A New Order for Three Project Locations

The announcement positions the company to extend its presence in two of India's key solar markets, where utility-scale capacity continues to be built out by major developers. The engagement is notable not only for its size but also for what it signals about the company's standing among India's renewable energy developers.

According to the company, the order builds on an existing association with the developer, reflecting continued confidence in Vikram Solar's technology portfolio and execution capabilities.

In an industry where repeat business is closely watched as a marker of delivery performance, the agreement adds further weight to the company's order book.

High-Efficiency N-Type TOPCon Modules at the Core of the Deal

Under the terms of the agreement, Vikram Solar will supply its high-efficiency N-Type TOPCon G12R modules. These modules feature glass-to-glass construction and bifacial technology and carry power ratings ranging from 615 to 625 Wp.

The specifications point to the technology direction now standard among utility-scale buyers. N-Type TOP Con cell architecture has become the dominant choice for large solar projects, offering higher efficiency than earlier p-type technologies.

Bifacial designs, which allow modules to generate power from light reaching the rear side of the panel, are increasingly specified for ground-mounted installations where rear-side irradiance can be captured.

Glass-to-glass construction, which replaces the traditional polymer backsheet with a second layer of glass, is associated with enhanced durability over the operating life of a module, a consideration for developers focused on long-term asset performance.

The G12R format referenced in the order refers to the company's large-format wafer-based module line, which supports the 615–625 Wp power ratings being supplied for the Karnataka and Tamil Nadu projects.

At these power ratings, the modules sit at the upper end of the range typically deployed in utility-scale solar in India, allowing developers to maximize generation within constrained land and mounting infrastructure footprints.

A Strengthening Order Book Amid India's Capacity Push

The new order adds to Vikram Solar's growing pipeline as an integrated domestic manufacturer. The company highlighted the timing of the win against the backdrop of India scaling up toward its target of 500 GW of non-fossil capacity, a national objective that has underpinned sustained procurement activity across the domestic solar manufacturing and project development ecosystem.

According to the company, ongoing expansion in high-efficiency cell manufacturing and sustained demand from leading developers continue to strengthen Vikram Solar's order book and its contribution to the country's clean energy transition.

The 187 MW supply agreement for projects in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu thus forms part of a broader pattern in which domestic module manufacturers are being drawn into India's build-out of non-fossil generation capacity.

The company said the order reflects the continued confidence its developer customers place in its technology portfolio and execution capabilities. That confidence, in the words of the company's leadership, is anchored in performance, reliability, and long-term value across utility-scale projects.

Leadership Commentary

Commenting on the order, Mr. Sameer Nagpal, Chief Executive Officer of Vikram Solar, said, "As India's solar sector continues to scale, the focus is increasingly on technologies that can deliver performance, reliability, and long-term value across utility-scale projects. At Vikram Solar, we remain committed to advancing our technology capabilities and maintaining the manufacturing and execution standards that our customers expect, delivering dependable, high-efficiency solar solutions that support the evolving needs of India's renewable energy sector."

The chief executive's remarks place emphasis on two themes: the technology content of the company's products and the manufacturing and execution standards behind them.

Both themes are consistent with the substance of the order itself, high-efficiency N-Type TOPCon modules with bifacial and glass-to-glass construction, supplied for utility-scale projects across multiple sites in two states.

About Vikram Solar

Headquartered in Kolkata, West Bengal, the company is one of the largest PV module manufacturers in India.

The company's track record in module quality and bankability is reflected in a series of independent recognitions. Vikram Solar is a 9th-time 'Top Performer' in PVEL's PV Module Reliability scorecard, a distinction awarded on the basis of module reliability testing.

The company has also been included in the Tier 1 solar PV modules manufacturer list of Bloomberg NEF for 9 consecutive quarters, a designation widely consulted by project developers and lenders when assessing module suppliers for utility-scale procurement.

Beyond its manufacturing operations, Vikram Solar has established a pan-India presence through an extensive distribution network. The company works with 119 authorized distributors and more than 750 dealers across the country, supporting its reach into markets beyond large, direct utility-scale supply relationships.

Context: Domestic Manufacturing and the 500 GW Target

The order arrives as India continues its scale-up toward 500 GW of non-fossil capacity, a target the company itself cited in its announcement. Within that build-out, module supply agreements of the scale announced here, 187 MW across three project locations in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, represent the procurement activity through which developers translate national capacity ambitions into operating assets.

Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are both significant solar markets within India, and the fact that this order spans projects at three locations across the two states underlines the multi-site nature of the developer's build programme.

The company's announcement framed the engagement as part of its growing pipeline as an integrated domestic manufacturer, with the company's expansion in high-efficiency cell manufacturing cited as a supporting factor in its ability to serve sustained developer demand.

Company Contact

For further information on the announcement, Vikram Solar has directed media inquiries to its press office in Kolkata, with Srabani Sen serving as the contact for the company. The press release containing the announcement was issued from Kolkata on 15 October 2026.

As Vikram Solar continues to strengthen its order book, with this 187 MW supply agreement for Karnataka and Tamil Nadu projects adding to an existing association with the developer, the company's positioning as one of India's largest PV module manufacturers, backed by its Tier 1 standing and its Top Performer record, remains central to how it presents itself to the market it serves.
