Tata Power Solar announced a 60 percent expansion of its manufacturing facility in Bangalore, taking the total production capacity to 200 MW. The expansion is based on the significant increase in demand that the company has seen for its solar modules, as well as the expected increase in demand due to supportive policy steps announced recently by the Government of India such as Domestic Content Requirement and anti-dumping duties.

Commenting at the inauguration of the expanded facility, Ajay Goel, CEO, Tata Power Solar said, "This substantial expansion, in an extremely competitive and price-sensitive sector, is a testimony to our products' superior quality and global competitiveness." Rahul Budhwar, Vice President - Manufacturing and Business Development, Tata Power Solar said, "We continue to raise the bar for quality solar products, by employing cutting-edge equipment, such as the fastest stringers available globally as well as the latest electroluminescence testers."

Tata Power Solar initiated its manufacturing expansion in 2001 by laying the foundation stone on a 10 acre facility at Bangalore. Currently, the company operates three world-class manufacturing units in Bangalore, including module, cell and solar water heaters.
