We commenced our manufacturing operations in 2009 with an initial solar PV module manufacturing capacity of 12 MW, which has since grown to an impressive 9.50 GW commissioned capacity as of November 26, 2025, following the launch of our 5.00 GW module manufacturing facility in Vallam, Tamil Nadu.
Our existing manufacturing facilities are strategically located at Falta SEZ in, West Bengal, Oragadam and now in Vallam, Tamil Nadu, with access to ports, rail, and roads, help us facilitate both our domestic and international operations. To meet growing demand, we are currently undertaking significant greenfield and brownfield expansion plans, which are expected to increase our installed solar PV module manufacturing capacity to up to 15.50 GW by Fiscal 2026 and up to 20.50 GW by Fiscal 2027.
Furthermore, we are strategically backward integrating into the solar value chain by establishing a solar cell manufacturing facility with two units, 3.00 GW and 9.00 GW, in Gangaikondan, Tamil Nadu by Fiscal 2027.
We are also focused on converging digital technologies with our manufacturing operations, using several tools such as artificial intelligence, cognitive modelling, machine learning, virtual reality, augmented reality and robotic process automation. Our manufacturing units are automated, utilising equipment and technologies from Japan, Germany, United States, Switzerland and China. Both our manufacturing facilities are certified under ISO 14001:2015 standard for environment management and the ISO 45001:2018 standard for occupational health and safety management systems implementation; while our Falta (West Bengal) facility is also certified ISO 9001:2015 for quality management systems and SA 8000:2014 for social accountability. We are also certified as per latest BIS and IEC product type testing and certification standards from TUV Rheinland IEC 61215: 2021/ IEC 61730- 1 & 2:2022 and product safety standards according to UL 1703 (Source: CRISIL Report). Products tested and manufactured under the certification umbrella mentioned below are typically preferred by reputed customers backed by marquee shareholders:
Furthermore, our R&D team has leveraged digitization and lean manufacturing initiatives that allow seamless processes, such as lean manufacturing, reducing and regulating wastage, and bringing in value engineering. In Fiscal 2024, this has enabled us to reduce the cost of poor quality by 39.55%, improve our yield by 0.17%, sustain our balance of raw material (“BORM”) yield at more than 99.95%, reduce our specific power consumption overall by 0.66% and reduce our specific water consumption by 35.83%.In CY 2022, our R&D lab located at Falta, West Bengal was also accredited by the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (“NABL”) in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025:2017, making us the second solar company in India and the first in Eastern India to get such accreditation (Source: CRISIL Report). To further our R&D efforts, we are planning to build a Centre of Excellence (“COE”) in our facility at Falta (West Bengal) that will introduce, amongst other projects, a Digital Twin development project that enables real-time simulation, replicating physical processes and monitoring of our manufacturing processes in our facilities, which would then allow for predictive maintenance, process optimization and scenario testing. The below image shows the model of our equipment and our R&D lab in Falta, West Bengal, along with the certifications received:
With quality at the core of our ethos, our modules undergo real-world simulated tests like thermal cycling, Potential Induced Degradation, Light Induced Degradation, damp heat, Ultraviolet exposure and degradation. Our processes are optimized through practice of lean manufacturing and Six Sigma methods.
We, at Vikram Solar are focusing on converging digital technologies with manufacturing operations. With artificial intelligence, cognitive modelling, machine learning, deep learning, virtual reality, augmented reality and robotic process automation, our R&D team has leveraged digitization initiatives that allow seamless processes, such as lean manufacturing, reducing and regulating wastage.
Our strategy is to be a “early adopter,” which entails adopting new, promising and proven technologies early. We achieve this through the continued development of innovative products, which enables us to expand our product portfolio and drive increased product orders going forward. This can be evidenced by the constant improvements of module wattages and efficiencies since 2009, as illustrated.
