Adani Solar has achieved a significant milestone by dispatching more than 15,000 megawatts (MW) of solar modules across India and international markets, marking it as the first and fastest Indian manufacturer to reach this level. Of the total, 10,000 MW have been installed within India and 5,000 MW sent overseas—equivalent to nearly 28 million solar panels spread across an area the size of 7,500 football fields, according to company officials.
Around 70% of the modules were produced using Adani’s indigenously manufactured solar cells, highlighting its commitment to the Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat initiatives. The company plans to expand its production capacity from the current 4,000 MW to 10,000 MW by the next financial year and intends to ship an additional 15,000 MW of modules in the coming years.
Adani Solar remains the only Indian company listed among the world’s top 10 solar module manufacturers, according to energy research firm Wood Mackenzie. A recent Wood Mackenzie report, “Perfect Storm in the Indian Solar Supply Chain,” predicts that India’s solar module manufacturing capacity will exceed 125 GW by 2025—over three times the nation’s annual market demand of about 40 GW. The report identifies India as the strongest emerging alternative to China’s dominance in the solar supply chain.
With a retail footprint spanning 550 districts through 35 exclusive partners, Adani Solar manages India’s largest solar module distribution network, making high-efficiency, locally made solar products widely available. “Crossing the 15,000 MW mark is a testament to our unwavering commitment to India’s clean energy journey and energy self-reliance,” said a company spokesperson.
According to the company’s estimates, its solar module shipments have made a substantial contribution to sustainable development by supplying affordable solar power to nearly five million households across various regions. This large-scale deployment has not only expanded access to clean energy but has also played a vital role in promoting energy affordability and reliability for millions of people.
In addition to transforming the energy landscape, the initiative has generated over 2,500 green jobs and prevented around 60 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year, underscoring its environmental impact. The installed modules collectively span approximately 65,000 kilometres, a distance long enough to encircle the Earth one and a half times, symbolizing the vast scale of Adani Solar’s contribution to the global clean energy movement.
India’s solar manufacturing base has grown exponentially—from 2.3 GW in 2014 to a projected 100 GW by 2025, with over 100 domestic producers now active in the sector. During the first half of FY26, India’s solar exports climbed 20% year-on-year to reach USD 668 million, driven by demand from the US, UAE, Kenya, Hungary, and Iran.
Adani Solar also leads the rooftop solar market, supplying 1.78 GW of modules last year—enough to power nearly 594,000 households. It currently provides over half of the modules used in the government’s Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, which aims to deliver solar power to 10 million homes by 2027.
With more than 50% of India’s installed electricity capacity already derived from non-fossil fuel sources, the country is ahead of its Paris Agreement targets and on course to achieve 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030. Adani Solar’s integrated manufacturing ecosystem—spanning ingots, wafers, cells, modules, and key components like solar glass, EVA, and aluminium frames—continues to strengthen India’s pursuit of sustainable energy independence.
