Websol Energy System Ltd has obtained 21.9 hectares at Falta Industrial Park in West Bengal, India, for a solar manufacturing plant it intends to build.
The planned factory is designed for 4 GW of annual solar cell output and 4 GW of module output, with development split into two 2 GW stages.
The land allocation advances Websol‘s push to grow its manufacturing activities in West Bengal, where it already runs a solar cell and module plant inside the Falta Special Economic Zone. According to the company, its current operations in the state give it access to trained labor, long-standing supplier ties and knowledge of the local production environment, all of which it expects to aid the new site’s development. The project would extend Websol’s manufacturing reach in eastern India.
Sohan Lal Agarwal, chairman and managing director of Websol Energy System, noted that when the company first entered solar manufacturing in the mid-1990s, India’s industry was still at a very early stage, while solar has now become an increasingly significant element of the nation’s energy infrastructure, making the case for robust domestic manufacturing clearer than ever. He called the land allotment the next stage of a journey that started over thirty years ago in West Bengal, enabling the company to construct at a considerably larger scale while remaining near an ecosystem, workforce and operating base it understands well. He further stated that as India grows its solar capacity, manufacturing ought to expand in parallel, across regions and nearer to demand.
Sanjana Khaitan, executive director of Websol Energy System, said the company will now concentrate on advancing the project from land allotment through construction, commissioning and production.
Established in 1990, Websol produces solar cells and modules. It mainly provides cells to the Indian market, including module makers aiming to meet domestic content requirement rules, and offers its modules both in India and abroad.
The current Falta SEZ site has 1.2 GW of annual solar cell output and 550 MW of module output, and its production lines are capable of handling wafers up to 210 mm. Websol appears among the manufacturers on India’s Approved List of Models and Manufacturers for solar cells.
