These additions strengthen Waaree’s product portfolio across advanced cell technologies, supporting utility-scale, commercial & industrial (C&I), and rooftop solar projects nationwide.
Leadership Statement
Commenting on the milestone, Mr. Sunil Rathi, Executive Director, Waaree Group, said: “This expanded ALMM listing marks a key milestone in Waaree’s journey of building scale with technology leadership. Crossing 20 GW of India manufacturing capacity reflects our long-term commitment to strengthening domestic solar manufacturing, improving efficiency benchmarks, and supporting India’s clean energy transition.”
