Credence Solar Breaks Ground For 2 GW Solar Cell Plant In Gujarat Photograph: (Credence Solar)
 Credence Solar Panels Pvt. Ltd. said it has broken ground on a 2 gigawatt (GW) solar cell manufacturing facility in the western Indian state of Gujarat, as the photovoltaic module maker moves to deepen its presence in domestic solar manufacturing.
The Rajkot-based plant will produce next-generation G12 and G12R solar cells and is expected to become operational by the fourth quarter of 2026, the company said in a statement.
The investment comes as India strengthens domestic solar manufacturing through policy measures such as the Approved List of Cell Manufacturers (ALCM) framework, which aims to boost local production and reduce reliance on imported solar components.
Once operational, the facility is expected to enhance Credence Solar’s vertical integration, allowing the company greater control over supply chains, product quality and technology deployment.
The company said the plant will support the production of higher-wattage modules, as larger cell formats such as G12 and G12R gain traction in the global solar industry due to their ability to deliver improved efficiency and higher power output.
Credence Solar has previously introduced G12-based photovoltaic modules with capacities of up to 730 watts, positioning itself among early adopters of large-format module technologies in India.
Industry analysts say additional domestic cell manufacturing capacity could help strengthen India’s solar supply chain and support the country’s broader push to expand local renewable energy manufacturing.
