TP Solar Limited, the solar manufacturing arm of Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited, reported a strong operational performance during the first nine months of FY26, supported by accelerated capacity ramp-up and improved manufacturing efficiency.
During the April to December 2025 period, the company manufactured 2.8 GW of domestically produced solar cells and 2.9 GW of solar modules. Of the total module output, around 2.4 GW comprised Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) modules, while the remaining 0.5 GW consisted of ALMM-compliant modules.
In the third quarter of FY26, TP Solar recorded a significant increase in solar cell production, reaching 940 MW compared with 196 MW in the same quarter of the previous year. This translated into nearly a five-fold year-on-year growth. Module manufacturing during the quarter stood at 990 MW, up from 927 MW in Q3 FY25, marking a growth of approximately 7 percent.
The company operates one of India’s largest single-location solar cell and module manufacturing facilities in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, with a total installed capacity of 4.3 GW. The plant is equipped with advanced TOPCon and Mono PERC technologies and produces both ALMM-certified and DCR modules using domestically manufactured solar cells.
Tata Power has invested close to ₹4,300 crore through its renewable energy subsidiary to establish the Tirunelveli manufacturing facility. The investment supports domestic solar manufacturing, strengthens the local supply chain, and aligns with the company’s strategy to enhance self-reliance across the solar value chain.
