Solar module manufacturer WorldOne Energies has commissioned a 1.2 GW solar module manufacturing facility in Nagpur, Maharashtra.

The facility will produce N-type tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) mono and bifacial modules ranging from 525 Wp to 650 Wp. The company claims the new facility operates 33% faster than standard Indian production lines.

Setting up the manufacturing line exceeded costs of ₹2 billion (~$23.4 million).

The module line features 144/156 half-cut cells with a claimed efficiency of 23.26% to ensure high performance across residential, commercial, and utility-scale applications.

The company plans to expand its manufacturing capacity, including a 2 GW scalable cell facility to 5 GW. It also aims to increase its module production from 1.2 GW to 10 GW.

WorldOne Energies also offers energy storage systems and battery storage solutions with high-capacity lithium-ion batteries, and hybrid solutions for energy management.

Additionally, the company offers solar inverters that it claims optimize energy conversion for on-grid, off-grid, and hybrid applications.

WorldOne Energies also offers operations and maintenance services, renewable energy integration, and green building solutions. The company has worked government, healthcare, education, industries, solar park, street lighting, and residential projects.

As of June 2024, India’s cumulative solar module manufacturing capacity reached 77.2 GW, while solar cell capacity totaled 7.6 GW, according to Mercom India’s research report, State of Solar PV Manufacturing in India 1H 2024. The country also added 11.3 GW of solar modules and 2 GW of cell manufacturing capacity in the first half of 2024.

Monocrystalline passivated emitter and rear cell modules comprised most of the country’s production capacity, followed by TOPCon, polycrystalline, and thin-film technologies.

India’s solar module capacity is projected to reach 172 GW, while solar cell capacity will reach almost 80 GW by 2026.

In March, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy expanded the Approved List of Module Manufacturers (ALMM) capacity by adding 8,067 MW of solar module manufacturing capacity. The cumulative capacity under ALMM increased by 10.48% to 74,235 MW from 67,188 MW in February 2025.
