INOXGFL Commissions First Phase of 3 GW Solar Plant, Inaugurates 1.2 GW Wind Facility in Gujarat

Inox Solar has recently inaugurated its new solar module manufacturing facility, along with Inox Wind’s nacelle and hub manufacturing facility, near Ahmedabad, Gujarat. In a statement, Inox Wind announced the inauguration of the first phase of its 3 GW solar module manufacturing facility at Bavla, Ahmedabad, by Gujarat Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi on Thursday. 

The facility is fully automated and equipped with manufacturing technology to produce N-type TOPCon solar modules using M10R and G12R solar cells. Along with this, the Deputy Chief Minister also inaugurated Inox Wind’s nacelle and hub manufacturing facility at Kalyangarh near Ahmedabad, which has a capacity of 1.2 GW. This technology delivers higher efficiency, lower degradation, and superior reliability. The bifacial modules enable dual-sided power generation, significantly enhancing capacity utilisation factors (CUF) and overall energy output. 

Built to global manufacturing standards and approved by the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE), the facility will manufacture nacelles and hubs for Inox Wind’s advanced 3 MW-class wind turbines, as well as its upcoming 4X MW-class turbines. The facility offers improved logistical access to renewable energy project sites across western and southern India, enhancing transportation efficiency and reducing project execution timelines.

Additionally, Inox Clean, through its subsidiary Inox Neo, aims to become the fastest independent power producer (IPP) to install 3 GW of renewable capacity. The nacelle houses the key power-generating components of a wind turbine, including the gearbox, generator, and electrical control systems, while the hub connects the rotor blades to the main shaft—together forming the core of a wind turbine.

The INOXGFL Group, through its subsidiaries, has consistently expanded its presence across the chemicals and renewable energy sectors. The group is an integrated renewable energy player in India, operating across the value chain, including wind manufacturing (Inox Wind), solar manufacturing (Inox Solar), EPC services (Inox Renewable Solutions), operations and maintenance (Inox Green), advanced battery materials (GFCL EV), and independent power production (Inox Neo Energies).

Leadership View

Speaking on the occasion, the Deputy Chief Minister of Gujarat, Harsh Sanghavi, said, “The inauguration of these world-class solar and wind manufacturing facilities reflects the state’s strong commitment to clean energy, innovation, and sustainable industrial development. Such investments not only strengthen India’s renewable energy manufacturing capabilities but also generate direct and indirect employment, encourage technology leadership, and contribute meaningfully to our national energy security. We are proud to see global-scale facilities being developed in Gujarat that will support India’s clean energy ambitions for decades to come.”  

Commenting on the plant inaugurations, Devansh Jain, Executive Director, INOXGFL Group said, “We express our sincere gratitude to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, the Government of India, and the Government of Gujarat for providing the policy framework, promoting domestic manufacturing, and driving the clean energy revolution from the forefront. Our nacelle and hub manufacturing plant inaugurated today will expand Inox Wind’s technological offerings to 4X MW class turbines, along with manufacturing 3MW class turbines. This will help us expand our access across sites in Western and Southern India brining in new customers.” 

Jain added, “We have ambitious growth plan for the solar business where we plan to have a cumulative capacity of 11GW of solar module and 8GW of solar cell manufacturing capacity by FY27 in India and overseas, potentially resulting in the annual revenue upwards of Rs 20,000 crore. With this the total consolidated revenues for Inox Clean will scale to Rs 30,000 crore approximately by FY28.
