Avaada Butibori plant is India's 1st to make 720Wp solar modules
Nagpur: Avaada Electro, which is building a solar power equipment plant at Butibori, has claimed to be the first to manufacture large-sized 720 Watt peak (Wp) TOPcon solar modules in the country. The plant at Butibori near Nagpur is expected to emerge as the country's largest solar modules and cells manufacturing facility. Avaada's projects in the state entail an investment of Rs13,000 crore, most of which is for the Butibori plant. The company has now begun manufacturing 720Wp modules at Butibori. It is currently importing the cells, which are a key component for making modules, from China. However, there are plans to operationalise the cell-making unit also by October. This will enable fully indigenous manufacturing of solar modules, doing away with dependence on China, said company officials. Even China started making 720Wp capacity modules less than a year ago. Avaada is expected to be second globally after China, said a source. Avaada Electro had performed the groundbreaking ceremony for its Butibori plant last October. Modules are the equipment that generate solar power. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo They are made of numerous solar cells. So far, modules made in India have smaller 182x183mm M10 cells which can generate 595Wp solar power. Avaada has begun manufacturing modules made of 220x220mm G12 cells. The modules have the capacity to generate as much as 720Wp power, explained a company official. The manufacturing of the first phase with a capacity of 1.5 gigawatts (GW) has started at Butibori . By July, the full capacity of making modules with a combined capacity of 7GW is expected to be reached. Modules made through the G12 cells can generate more solar power in less area due to the cell's size. Solar module installations occupy a sizeable area, said the source. Similarly, the company has also commercially launched the 630Wp solar modules. The Butibori plant has also been included in the ministry of renewable energy's (MRE) approved list of models and manufacturers (ALMM). This will ensure Avaada's eligibility for taking part in the govt tenders. The Butibori unit has already started supplying solar panels for the state govt's Mukhya Mantri Saur Krishi Vahini Yojana -- the state govt project for supplying solar power to farmers. According to company chairman Vineet Mittal with ALMM accreditation of the Butibori plant and the launch of 720Wp and 630Wp cells, the company hopes to achieve a major revolution in the sector. With Butibori emerging as a prime destination for solar energy equipment makers, Avaada is the first to start production. Other companies like Jindal Group and Waaree Energies also have similar plans for Nagpur.

Nashik Municipal Corporation to levy entry fees for four large gardens
Nashik: The civic administration is set to introduce entry fees for the four large gardens in the city to boost revenue and offset maintenance costs. The four gardens are Goda Park on the bank of Godavari river near Ramwadi, Somani Garden in the Nashik Road area, Pelican Park in the Cidco area and Late Balasaheb Thackeray Adventure Sports Park along Gangapur Road. "These parks are to be managed and operated by private agencies, which will also pay a royalty or some amount collected through the sale of entry tickets," an official said. The selected agency will be responsible for operating and managing the facilities, as well as organising and managing small events like cultural activities, fitness programmes and community gatherings. "This will contribute to both the vibrancy of the parks and the engagement of the community, ensuring the parks are active, run efficiently and enhance the overall user experience," the official said. Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) has already floated a bid for the deployment of the agency to operate and manage Goda Park. "The bids to operate and manage the other three gardens are to be floated shortly. The agencies deployed for the four gardens will also be tasked with overseeing bookings, providing customer service and handling all other operational aspects," another civic official said.
