- Projects under the PM-KUSUM Solar Pumps Project
- DCR framework compliant solutions
This diversification creates multiple revenue streams beyond traditional module manufacturing.
Meeting India’s Ambitious Solar Targets
With India targeting 280 GW of solar capacity by 2030, Websol’s Managing Director confirms the expansion remains on track. The company’s new production line installation is nearing completion, showcasing how targeted policies and clear deployment goals are accelerating India’s renewable energy growth.
Future Outlook and Capacity Growth
When operational, the 600 MW expansion will bring Websol’s total solar cell capacity to 1.2 GW with 550 MW module capacity. This positions the company to meet growing demand for advanced solar technology, with the expansion expected to significantly contribute to financial performance by Q3 fiscal 2026.
