Gautam Solar has been ranked among the world’s top 30 solar module manufacturers in Wood Mackenzie’s Solar Module Manufacturer Ranking Report 2025. The company has also been awarded a ‘Grade A’ classification, placing it among a select group of manufacturers considered reliable and financially bankable for large-scale solar projects.

With more than 28 years in the solar industry, Gautam Solar is one of the few Indian manufacturers to feature alongside major global and Chinese players in the ranking. The recognition highlights the company’s manufacturing scale, product performance, quality controls, and long-term business stability.

Wood Mackenzie, a global energy research and consulting firm founded in 1973, evaluates manufacturers on parameters such as operational capacity, financial strength, supply chain reliability, and historical performance. The ‘Grade A’ rating is the highest category in the report and is awarded only to companies that meet strict benchmarks across these areas.

The 2025 report identifies ‘Grade A’ manufacturers as those whose modules are widely accepted by lenders and developers for utility-scale and commercial projects. Gautam Solar’s inclusion reflects its ability to meet demanding technical and financial requirements consistently.

Commenting on the achievement, Gautam Mohanka, Director, Gautam Solar, said, “This recognition reflects years of focused effort on manufacturing quality, technology adoption, and reliability. Being ranked among the top global manufacturers shows that Indian companies can compete at an international level. It also strengthens our responsibility to continue investing in capacity expansion and innovation.”

Gautam Solar has steadily expanded its manufacturing infrastructure and backend operations, with investments in advanced production lines and quality assurance systems. The company plans to commission a solar cell manufacturing facility in 2026 as part of its long-term growth strategy.

The latest ranking reinforces Gautam Solar’s position as a dependable supplier for utility, commercial, and institutional solar projects worldwide. It also marks an important milestone for India’s growing role in the global solar manufacturing ecosystem.
