Nextracker Breaches 10 GW Mark In India

Nextracker, a global leader in advanced solar energy solutions, has announced that it has surpassed 10 gigawatts (GW) of solar tracker deployments in India—a major milestone reinforcing its market leadership and the country’s accelerating solar adoption. Nextracker has been expanding its footprint in India with a new 80,000 sq. ft. office and research and development (R&D) facility in Hyderabad.

1.8 GW of projects added in the last quarter took Nextracker’s India portfolio now totals over 10 GW, underscoring strong momentum in solar adoption. Recent project wins include a 305 MW project with ReNew in Anantapur, along with 1.5 GW of projects through partnerships with key EPCs (engineering, procurement, and construction companies) across the country—highlighting Nextracker’s expanding presence in India’s high-growth solar regions.

Nextracker has been on a tear since its listing in the US, expanding its suite of renewable services by acquiring firms as well as adding factories.

To further strengthen its presence in the world’s third-largest solar power market, Nextracker inaugurated its largest office outside the United States. The new Hyderabad hub integrates R&D, testing, and workforce development under one roof, featuring a 13-acre Center for Solar Excellence (CFSE) cutting-edge R&D and testing laboratory. Supported by a USD $1 million investment, the CFSE is dedicated to advancing local solar technology and training in India.

Building on its existing workforce of over 400 employees in India, Nextracker is accelerating its hiring efforts across engineering, manufacturing, and customer support. The Hyderabad facility will also focus on skill development initiatives to nurture local expertise in advanced solar technology and project execution.

Under the ‘Make in India’ initiative, Nextracker claims that 95% of its tracker components used in India are manufactured domestically. This localization supports supply chain resilience, energy security, and technology localization, enabling Indian solar developers to access industry-leading, climate-resilient solutions tailored to the country’s unique energy landscape and conditions.

Rajeev Kashyap, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Nextracker (Middle East, Africa, and India) said, “This region is one of the world’s fastest-growing solar markets, and our Hyderabad expansion reflects our deep commitment to supporting that growth. With 10 GW of projects commissioned or under delivery, we are equipping developers with best-in-class technology optimized for the country’s diverse needs, while investing in local talent, infrastructure, and innovation to meet the country’s renewable energy goals.”
