[Solar: GREW Solar accelerates 8GW ingot and wafer plan in India]

Published: May 19, 2026 17:32
GREW Solar is accelerating plans to build an 8GW solar ingot and wafer factory in Madhya Pradesh ahead of India’s ALMM List-III for wafers, which will take effect in June 2028. The facility, located in Narmadapuram, is targeted for commissioning by March 2028 and will be developed alongside GREW’s cell manufacturing capacity, which is planned to reach 8GW by the end of 2026. GREW currently operates 6.5GW of module capacity in Rajasthan and plans to expand it to 11GW.
