Premier Energies Limited has announced the commissioning of a 5.6 GW solar module manufacturing facility in Seetharampur, Telangana. The plant has begun trial production and marks a significant expansion in the company’s manufacturing footprint.
Spread across 75 acres, the facility is expected to create approximately 2,000 jobs, contributing to regional economic development while strengthening India’s renewable energy manufacturing ecosystem. With the addition of this unit, Premier Energies’ total solar module manufacturing capacity has reached 11.1 GW, reinforcing its position among India’s leading solar manufacturers.
The newly commissioned facility features advanced and highly automated production lines capable of manufacturing G12R TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) solar modules. These modules are designed for higher efficiency and improved performance. The plant can produce modules every 16 seconds, highlighting its high throughput and operational efficiency.
Automation plays a central role in the facility’s operations, ensuring consistent quality, reduced operational costs, and optimized capacity utilization. The integration of AI-based fault detection systems enables real-time identification and correction of defects, improving module reliability and overall performance.
Additionally, the incorporation of TOPCon technology along with zero busbar architecture enhances energy yield, reduces optical losses, and improves module durability. These features position the company to cater effectively to both domestic and international demand for high-efficiency solar modules.
The management highlighted that this commissioning represents a key milestone in building a fully integrated solar manufacturing ecosystem. The company continues to focus on scaling its value chain from ingots to modules while aligning with India’s renewable energy targets.
Premier Energies is currently undertaking a capital expenditure program of ₹12,500 crore over three years. The investment aims to more than double its solar manufacturing capacity, expand backward integration into ingots and wafers, and diversify into adjacent segments such as inverters, transformers, and battery systems.
This development is expected to strengthen supply chain resilience, enhance export competitiveness, and support the growing global demand for high-efficiency solar solutions.
