Waaree Energies Limited has initiated trial production at its 5.4 GW solar cell manufacturing plant in Chikhli, Gujarat.

In the same month, Waaree Energies secured an order to supply 150 MWp of n-type TOPCon bifacial glass-glass solar modules for a renewable energy project in India, with deliveries expected in the financial year 2025-26.
