Emmvee Arm Commissions Sixth 2.5 GW Solar Module Line in Bengaluru, Lifts Capacity to 10.3 GW

Karnataka-based Emmvee Photovoltaic Power Limited, through its subsidiary Emmvee Energy Private Limited (EEPL), has commenced operations of its 2.5 GW solar module line at Unit VI. In a regulatory filing, Emmvee said the latest unit was commissioned at its factory in Sulibele, Hoskote Taluk, Bengaluru, Karnataka, on December 20, 2025. The commissioning of the latest line takes Emmvee’s aggregate solar module manufacturing capacity to 10.3 GW.

Emmvee described the commissioning as part of the company’s planned capacity expansion, as disclosed in the offer documents filed in connection with its initial public offer (IPO), in line with the timeline envisaged by the company.

Suhas Manjunatha, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and President of Emmvee, had previously told investors during an investor call that the company had around 7.8 GW of installed solar module capacity. He had also indicated that a large part of the company’s focus in the latest quarter was on stabilising its newly commissioned 2.5 GW module facility at Sulibele, which is now operating smoothly.

Manjunatha said the company’s capacity expansion programme is continuing on schedule, with the second 2.5 GW module line expected to come online in FY 2026. He also mentioned that Emmvee has commenced work on its 6 GW integrated solar cell and module facility at ITIR Phase 2 in Bengaluru. Additionally, the company has secured financial support through a loan sanction of Rs 3,306 crore from IREDA for the project.

Emmvee’s Previous Module Plants

Mapping the growth, Emmvee had earlier opened its fifth module manufacturing facility at Sulibele, near Bengaluru International Airport, adding 2 GWp of photovoltaic (PV) module capacity. This expansion increased the company’s total PV module capacity to 6.6 GWp, while its solar cell capacity reached 2.5 GWp.

Emmvee has come a long way from launching a fully automated solar cell and module manufacturing unit in Dabaspet, Karnataka, spanning 500,000 square feet. The unit is located adjacent to the company’s 750 MW module facility. This project was part of Emmvee’s expansion plan to add a 1.50 GW solar cell line and 3.00 GW of solar module manufacturing capacity. Phase II of the expansion, comprising a 1.50 GW solar cell line and a 1.75 GW solar module manufacturing facility, was officially kick-started in 2023.
