HVR Solar plans 1.2 GW TOPCon solar cell plant in Uttar Pradesh
HVR Solar has signed a series of memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with international technology providers and solution partners for a proposed 1.2 GW TOPCon solar cell manufacturing facility in Uttar Pradesh. The move marks the company’s entry into solar cell manufacturing and expands its presence across the solar value chain.
The agreements were signed during the SNEC PV Power Expo 2026 in Shanghai and cover equipment supply, utility systems, and production line integration for the proposed facility.
Amroha facility planned
The proposed manufacturing facility will be located in Amroha, Uttar Pradesh. According to the company, the project is intended to strengthen its domestic manufacturing footprint as India expands local solar manufacturing capacity.
The facility will focus on Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact (TOPCon) solar cell technology, which has emerged as a leading technology for new solar manufacturing investments globally due to its higher efficiency compared with conventional cell technologies.
Technology partnerships
HVR Solar has partnered with Indygreen Technologies, which will act as a technology facilitator for the project. The company said the collaboration will support development and implementation of the proposed solar cell manufacturing line.
According to HVR Solar, agreements with global technology partners are expected to facilitate equipment sourcing, utility infrastructure development, and integration of production systems for the facility.
HVR Solar said the proposed 1.2 GW facility is expected to support India’s renewable energy supply chain, reduce dependence on imported solar cells, and create more than 500 local jobs once operational.
Expansion plans
The project represents a significant expansion of HVR Solar’s manufacturing plans as the company seeks to strengthen its position in India’s growing solar manufacturing sector.
The announcement follows the inauguration of Invergy’s 3 GWh Gigafactory, which is expected to support production of advanced battery energy storage solutions, including assembly of 5 MWh containerised battery energy storage system (BESS) units.
