ReNew to Develop 6 GW Solar Ingot and Wafer Plant in Andhra
ReNew Photovoltaics will establish a 6 GW solar ingot and wafer manufacturing plant at Rambilli in Anakapalli district, Andhra Pradesh, with an investment of Rs. 3,990 crore. The project will strengthen upstream solar manufacturing by enabling in-country production of ingots and wafers that are essential for solar cell and module fabrication.
The project has received necessary approvals from the Andhra Pradesh State Investment Promotion Board.
ReNew’s upcoming plant in Andhra will be developed across 130–140 acres of land and will consume about 95 MW of power and nearly 10 million litres of water per day. The company plans to complete construction work by March 2026, with full-scale commercial production expected to begin in January 2028.
The facility is expected to generate around 1,200 direct job opportunities.
By localising ingot and wafer production, ReNew’s new plant supports India’s target of achieving 300 GW of solar capacity by 2030 and strengthens long-term energy security. Through this 6 GW ingot and wafer plant, ReNew Photovoltaics moves deeper into the solar value chain and reinforces its position in India’s renewable energy ecosystem.
