Avaada Electro Limited, the solar manufacturing arm of Avaada Group, has secured enlistment of 7,117 MW (7.117 GW) of N-type TOPCon solar cell manufacturing capacity under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy's (MNRE) 13th revision of the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) List-II, dated 28 October 2026.

The capacity is tied to the company's Butibori facility in Maharashtra. Avaada Electro described the enlistment as an important step towards building a globally competitive solar manufacturing enterprise and strengthening India's domestic solar technology ecosystem.

Advanced G12 TOPCon Technology

According to the company, a key highlight of the latest ALMM enlistment is its G12 N-type TOPCon solar cell technology, with manufacturer-declared maximum cell efficiency reaching up to 26.8% and the highest listed average cell efficiency of 25.89%.

The company's G12 full-cell model has a declared maximum power output of 11.81 watts per cell.

Avaada Electro said these technical parameters reflect the potential of advanced TOPCon technology to generate more electrical power from a given silicon cell area, supporting the development of higher-power solar modules. It added that improving conversion efficiency remains an important pathway towards better utilisation of materials, manufacturing resources and installation infrastructure.

The company said its focus is not simply on achieving higher technical specifications, but on translating technological progress into consistent product quality, dependable performance and competitive manufacturing economics.

Manufacturing Scale and Supply Chain

With 7.117 GW of annual enlisted nameplate capacity, Avaada Electro said actual production and saleable output at the Butibori facility will depend on operating utilisation, manufacturing yields and product mix.

The company said the scale of the manufacturing platform strengthens its ability to serve India's expanding solar industry, including module manufacturers, renewable energy developers and engineering, procurement and construction companies.

Avaada Electro also said the capacity contributes to the development of domestic manufacturing capabilities at a time when India is working to strengthen supply-chain resilience, promote industrial self-reliance and reduce dependence on imported solar components.

Three Manufacturing Principles

Avaada Electro said manufacturing leadership cannot be measured by installed capacity alone, and that long-term competitiveness requires continuous improvement in cell efficiency, production yields, product reliability, manufacturing productivity and cost per watt.

The company said it is building its manufacturing approach around three stated principles:

  • First Time Right: building quality into every stage of production.
  • Every Time Right: delivering consistent quality through disciplined processes.
  • Everything Right: integrating product performance, operational excellence, responsible manufacturing and customer satisfaction.

Through continued investment in advanced TOPCon technology and manufacturing capabilities, Avaada Electro said it aims to build a dependable domestic supply platform capable of competing on quality, technology and cost.

Chairman's Statement

Vineet Mittal, Chairman and Whole-time Director of Avaada Electro Limited, said India's clean energy future cannot depend only on how much solar power the country installs.

"India's clean energy future cannot depend only on how much solar power we install. It must also depend on how much technology we develop, how much we manufacture ourselves, and how effectively we compete with the world," Mittal said.

He described the 7.1 GW TOPCon solar cell manufacturing enlistment as “an important milestone in that journey,” while cautioning that "manufacturing leadership is not about building the biggest factory. It is about making better products, improving efficiency every day, maintaining uncompromising quality and earning the trust of customers through consistent performance."

Mittal said every improvement in technology must ultimately create value for customers, for the environment and for the country.

"Our ambition is simple to Make in India. Compete with the world. Make every watt count. This milestone is not the destination. It is another step towards demonstrating that India can build advanced clean energy technology at scale and with globally competitive standards," he said.

Energy Security and Manufacturing Ambitions

Avaada Electro said India's energy transition presents an opportunity that extends beyond renewable power generation, offering a pathway to develop advanced industrial capabilities, create skilled employment, strengthen domestic supply chains and become an important participant in global clean energy manufacturing.

The company said it aims to contribute to that transformation by combining manufacturing scale, technological development, disciplined operations and long-term customer relationships.

Avaada Group describes itself as an Indian integrated energy transition company with businesses spanning renewable power generation and advanced solar manufacturing. Through Avaada Electro, the Group said it is developing domestic solar photovoltaic cell and module manufacturing capabilities, with a focus on advanced N-type TOPCon technology, manufacturing excellence, product reliability and customer value.
