Roshni Renewable LLP to Establish Punjab's First Giga-Scale Solar Module Manufacturing Plant

Roshni Renewable LLP, a new venture promoted by professionals from Valco—an Indian Aluminium  company—and Solidus Techno Power Private Limited, an EPC company based in Punjab, has announced an initiative to set up Punjab’s first giga-scale solar module manufacturing plant.

With an initial production capacity of 1.8 GW, the project represents a major step forward in boosting both Punjab’s industrial ecosystem and India’s renewable energy sector, the firm said. The fully automated production facility will adhere to global production standards, generate substantial employment opportunities, and contribute to sustainable regional growth, the firm said. 

Pact With Jinchen 

The manufacturing line will be established in collaboration with Jinchen, a supplier of solar module manufacturing lines. The partnership was formalized during the Renewable Energy India (REI) Expo.

“We are proud to bring Punjab’s first solar manufacturing line in partnership with Jinchen,” said Ajay Gupta, representing Roshni Renewable. “This initiative not only supports India’s clean energy mission but also strengthens Punjab’s industrial future by creating quality employment opportunities and advancing renewable energy manufacturing capabilities.”

Aligned with the Government of India’s “Make in India” initiative, this project will significantly reduce dependence on imported solar components and help position India as a self-reliant clean energy supplier, the firm said. 

Spread Of Solar Manufacturing In India 

Solar manufacturing plants have spread out significantly in the past 2 years across the country, after the strong concentration focused on Gujarat and South India that was seen until 2024. The reason has been rising demand from other states, providing local catchment areas, incentives driven by state governments as seen in Madhya Pradesh and Odisha in recent months, and the need to focus on domestic markets instead of exports after US tariffs. With module manufacturing requiring relatively less capex au under Rs 100 crore for a GW sized line, the challenge for most firms would be to manage once the ALCM, or compulsory use of domestically made cells comes in next year, which might place many of these firms at a disadvantage versus other majors that are on their way with cell manufacturing plans as well.
