Waaree Energies Expands Manufacturing Capacity with Additional 1.5 GW at Samakhiali Facility

Indian solar module and cell manufactuter Waaree Energies has expanded its domestic production capacity by adding 1.5 GW of solar module manufacturing at its Samakhiali plant in Kutch, Gujarat.

The expansion follows the commissioning of two high-efficiency module lines of 750 MW each at the same site, taking total new capacity added to 1.5 GW. With this, Waaree has scaled the Samakhiali facility to an annual capacity of 3 GW. The plant is now one of the company’s most advanced manufacturing hubs, equipped with next-generation automation, enhanced quality controls and integrated testing systems to meet growing domestic and overseas demand for high-performance solar modules.

New Milestone
