TP Solar crosses 4 GW solar module manufacturing at its Tamil Nadu plant
The plant has cumulatively produced 4049 MW of solar modules and 1441 MW of solar cells upto May 31, 2025.
With a strategic focus on scaling up production, TP Solar is targeting 3.7 GW of solar cell output and 3.725 GW of module production in FY26, further solidifying its commitment to supporting India's clean energy transition.
Strategically built to comply with Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) norms, the facility is equipped to manufacture next-generation Mono PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell) and advanced TopCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) modules using cutting-edge automated and AI-driven technologies. The ramp-up aligns with Tata Power's goal to strengthen India's solar supply chain resilience by reducing dependency on imports and enabling faster deployment of clean energy projects nationwide.
The facility is already supplying panels to meet Tata Power's order book requirementsincluding utility-scale solar farms, hybrid energy parks and distributed rooftop systems as well as serving marquee third-party installations across the country.
With its rated capacity of 4.3 GW expected to be fully realized in FY26, the plant would continue to support the nation's target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.
TPREL also has a 682MW solar module and a 530MW solar cell plant at Bengaluru, which operates at full capacity to support the DCR Cells and Modules production.

The city betrayed for 30 pieces of silver, aka ₹814.04 crore
MUMBAI: Mumbai has again been buried under the debris of broken promises. The Mumbai Port Authority's (MbPA) cynical parceling of 215 acres of land effectively means that, instead of a planned mixed-use development of the almost contiguous eastern waterfront, we will be stuck with ad hoc commercial or industrial monoliths blocking out the sky and refreshing sea air. This is the thin end of the wedge, the beginning of the inevitable fall of dominoes. The city betrayed for 30 pieces of silver, aka ₹ 814.04 crore More space earmarked for public good will be swallowed by private greed. Covert as well: ₹814.04 crore is a clear undervaluation of prime, shore-line land; remember, the surrendered non-dock-use, 966-hectare bonanza stretches from Colaba to Wadala. The incredible excuse offered is that in toto development could only happen if the entire area was available; much of it is currently tenanted, and only untenant parcels are up for the 30-year lease. Wow! So MbPA's 'solution' is to further encumber the valuable stretch, and thus make in toto development even less possible. Moreover, as Pankaj Joshi pointed out in these columns last Thursday, the land is not MbPA's to hand out. When port activities shifted to Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT), non-dock-use lots were to be returned to the city for purposes such as 'urban planning infrastructure, economic, environmental, housing development, tourism'. There's scary déjà vu about the way a second windfall has blown away, and with it the opportunity to make Mumbai livable, workable, breathable again. Just as the Bombay Port Trust (as MbPA was earlier called) had been gifted land for economically important shipping, millowners were granted long leases at nominal rates for Bombay's other wealth-creator. In 1991, under Charles Correa's visionary masterplan, Development Control Regulation (DCR) 58 ordained a three-way division of freed-up mill-land: one-third each for public utilities including open recreational spaces and affordable housing; the rest retained by original owners for private development. But in 2001, Vilasrao Deshmukh's government castrated DCR 58 by declaring that only vacant mill-land was eligible. Since mills are scattered with diverse sheds, the city got a pointless 32-acre instead of the expected, transformative 166. Only mill-owners, developers and political facilitators laughed all the way to the bank. The former Girangaon of Lalbaug-Parel continues to weep over its multiple afflictions. The Waterfront project would have specifically uplifted the city's eastern flank – cruelly bypassed by the infrastructure lavished on the west. Planners seem to think that the stretch along D'Mello/ Dockyard Road is still just a depression of scabrous warehouses, when in fact there's an increasing density of housing colonies with correspondingly deeper problems of connectivity. To wit: · Eastern freeway mockingly whizzes past; to use it, 'easterners' must negotiate the snarl of Antop Hill or travel all the way to Reay Road. · Engineering marvel Atal Setu's entry point is more manageable, but who needs its distant destinations? · At-hand monorail doesn't serve the needs of adjacent populations either, but it has swallowed half the carriageway of arterial roads. · Ambitious Sewri-Worli Elevated Connector will be this congested area's first gateway to the Worli-Bandra Sealink and all the blandishments to its south and north. Its two arms are growing apace, but their union is barred by old Elphinstone bridge; its closure has been held up by residents of two abutting chawls demanding intractable in situ rehabilitation; even dismantling and reconstruction could stretch interminably going by the Kaftaesque experience of nearby Delisle road bridge. · Metro? Yes, the city's true public transport saviour will come – but on the wrong, undeveloped side of the Harbour Line track. Obsolescence is an essential of progress. Rust belts echo 'Ozymandias' -- P B Shelley's poem on the crumbling legacy of a once-proud king, and reimagined in the eponymous episode of Breaking Bad. But, the world over, new Phoenixes rise, and shine with a well-planned mix of leisure, retail and entertainment that serves both public good and private gain. Like Belfast's Titanic Quarter, the Waterfront project had unique potential for learning and leisure, with enough commerce to bankroll it. If we let it sink, it will take the city with it. Docks facilitated Bombay's glorious past. Current greed will blight not just its present, but its future too. Mindless over-construction isn't threatening only the distant Himalaya.

Over 5,500 rooftop solar connections installed in north Delhi
Over 5,500 rooftop solar connections have been installed across North Delhi, Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (Tata Power-DDL) officials said on Saturday. The initiative supports the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana and Delhi Solar Policy, helping consumers reduce electricity bills while boosting clean energy adoption, the company said in a statement. The C&I segment contributes the highest energised capacity at 60.969 MWp (megawatt peak), compared to 34.929 MWp from domestic users and 12.565 MWp from others. (AP) The company said that domestic users lead in installations with 3,995 rooftop solar systems, followed by 1,497 in the Commercial and Industrial (C&I) sector and 38 in other categories. But the C&I segment contributes the highest energised capacity at 60.969 MWp (megawatt peak), compared to 34.929 MWp from domestic users and 12.565 MWp from others. The discom said that residential societies are also embracing solar power, with 13 societies in Tata Power-DDL's operational areas installing systems totalling 0.377 MWp. Most opted for setups between 2 kW and 3 kW. A Tata Power-DDL spokesperson said, 'Each kilowatt of rooftop solar generates 100–120 units monthly, allowing consumers to recover costs in three to four years through bill savings.' The total sanctioned load has now crossed 100 MWp. According to the company, government incentives have spurred adoption. Under the PM Surya Ghar scheme, households get ₹30,000 per kW for systems up to 2 kW, with subsidies capped at ₹78,000 for larger setups. Residents also receive up to 300 free units monthly from their solar output. In the scheme, Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) qualify for ₹18,000 per kW for shared facilities such as lighting and electric vehicles charging, limited to 3 kW per household and 500 kW per RWA. The Delhi Solar Policy adds further benefits, including ₹30,000 capital subsidies and generation-based incentives, the company said. Tata Power-DDL assists consumers with site checks, technical support, and net metering to ease the shift to solar.
