“With the clarion call of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ by the GoI, we are anticipating significant growth in the solar sector and have planned various developmental initiatives to grow our solar business. Tata Power Solar Systems Limited, our wholly owned subsidiary, recently inaugurated a state-of-the-art expansion of its manufacturing facility in Bengaluru, thereby, taking up the total production capacity of cells and modules to 1,100 MW,” Sinha said.
The company has begun investing in start-ups to speed up its innovation pipeline to help develop a fully integrated “Energy as a Service solution provider”.
