This growth includes contributions from both established companies and new entrants, many of whom
have adopted high-efficiency technologies and vertically integrated operations. The result is a diverse and
competitive manufacturing landscape capable of meeting domestic needs and serving global markets. The
crossing of the 100 GW solar module manufacturing capacity underscores the success of Indian solar PV
manufacturing story, and the collective efforts of industry, various State governments, and the
Government of India.
