Agastya Energy, an Indian solar photovoltaic manufacturer, has commenced construction of its integrated ingot and wafer production facility in Andhra Pradesh, India. The project involves an investment of INR78 billion (US$815 million) and is designed to reach an annual nameplate capacity of 12GW once fully operational. The company has not disclosed a timeline for the facility’s commercial operation date.
Founded in 2024, Agastya has rapidly expanded its manufacturing footprint, having started solar module production this year and planning to launch its first solar cell line next year. The new plant, located in Kurnool, is part of the company’s broader strategy to achieve an annual nameplate capacity of 5GW for both solar cells and modules, utilizing TOPCon bifacial technology.
Agastya is the latest Indian solar manufacturer to announce or begin building ingot and wafer facilities, following a proposal by the Indian Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) to include that segment of the supply chain in its Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM). The proposal, unveiled in September 2025, aims to mandate the use of domestically manufactured wafers in government-backed solar projects starting June 2028. Since the MNRE announcement a year ago, companies such as Tata Power, Waaree, Premier Energies, Saatvik Solar, and Vikram Solar have also announced or started construction of similar facilities.
Agastya described the construction start as a significant milestone in its long-term vision for solar manufacturing in India, emphasizing the collaborative effort behind the achievement. In addition to manufacturing modules, the company offers turnkey solutions for solar projects, including engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) and operations and maintenance (O&M) services.
India’s renewable energy transition, covering solar PV, energy storage, and grid integration, will be a central topic at the Renewable Energy India (REI) Expo, co-located with the Energy Storage Summit India (ESS India), scheduled for 22-24 October 2026 in Greater Noida.
