Inox Solar, a subsidiary of Inox Clean, has received land allocation from the Odisha government for its solar cell and module manufacturing plant in Dhenkanal.
The planned facility will have a capacity of 4.8 GW each for solar cells and solar modules. It is part of the Rs 40 billion investment announced earlier this year by the INOXGFL Group, aimed at setting up a large-scale solar manufacturing unit in the state.
Approved by the High-Level Clearance Authority (HLCA), the project is expected to create over 3,400 jobs. It will contribute to local employment and support Odisha’s broader economic goals.

This transformer is a major step in ultra-high-voltage AC (alternating current) grid safety and sustainability. The use of natural ester makes the transformer safer and more environmentally friendly than traditional mineral oil-based models. This transformer was developed under Hitachi Energy’s TrafoStar technology platform, which ensures standardised design and quality across its global…
