Vikram Solar has signed a domestic PV cell supply agreement with Avaada Electro as it seeks to expand its presence in India’s growing domestic content requirement (DCR) market and strengthen its long-term supply chain.
Under the agreement, Avaada Electro will supply 1 GW of ALMM-compliant domestically manufactured half-cut n-type G12R TOPCon solar cells for Vikram Solar’s module manufacturing operations. Deliveries are scheduled to commence in September 2026.
The agreement also complements Vikram Solar’s backward integration strategy. The company is setting up 9 GW high-efficiency solar cell manufacturing facility, which is scheduled for commissioning in Q4 FY27.
“The next phase of India’s solar growth will be won or lost on supply chain depth, not just manufacturing scale,” said Gyanesh Chaudhary, chairman & managing director, Vikram Solar. “This arrangement is another step in that direction- one that widens our supplier base, strengthens our hand on DCR, and gives us the confidence to commit to India’s energy security with fewer variables outside our control. Atmanirbhar Bharat won’t be built by any single partnership; it’ll be built by companies that keep making these choices, year after year.”
