The company also highlighted India's need for $2.2 trillion in power sector investment over the next two decades.
Integration and Technology Advancement
Vikram Solar is focused on expanding its manufacturing capabilities, aiming for 1,121 GW of installed capacity by 2035-36. The company plans to achieve 70% backward integration by FY27, with a 3 GW XBC cell plant commissioned by FY28 and a 12 GW wafer-ingot facility to be commissioned by FY29-30. The company will be deploying 15 GWh of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) by FY30, aligning with India's national target of 321 GWh.
Key Initiatives and Outlook
The company is pursuing several initiatives including:
- Expansion of Manufacturing Capacity: 9.5 GW of module capacity is currently live, with plans for further expansion.
