Premier Energies has secured new solar cell, module and engineering, procurement and construction orders worth more than ₹4,000 crore for the July-September quarter of FY27, strengthening its position in India’s expanding solar manufacturing and project-supply chain.
The orders cover supplies totalling 2,308 MW of solar cells and modules, along with EPC project execution, the company said in a statement. The customers include major power producers, module manufacturers, EPC companies and other buyers.
The announcement comes as Premier Energies scales up manufacturing capacity across its solar value chain. The company said its module manufacturing capacity has recently nearly doubled to 11.1 GW. Its solar cell manufacturing capacity has increased from 3.6 GW to 10.6 GW following the commissioning of a 7 GW TOPCon solar cell manufacturing facility at Naidupeta in Andhra Pradesh last month.
TOPCon, or tunnel oxide passivated contact, is a high-efficiency solar cell technology used in newer photovoltaic modules. The additional facility gives the company greater capacity to produce cells for its own module operations as well as for other customers, although the company’s statement did not provide a product-wise or customer-wise breakdown of the new orders.
The orders also illustrate the link between India’s renewable-energy expansion and the manufacturing capacity needed to supply it. Solar projects require a coordinated chain involving cell and module production, project engineering, procurement, construction and eventual commissioning. Premier Energies’ announcement combines these supply and execution activities, but the company did not disclose the locations, completion schedules or individual contract values of the EPC projects.
Chiranjeev Saluja, Managing Director of Premier Energies, said the company’s growing order book was “a strong validation of our growth strategy and execution ability.” The company did not state whether the reported order value would be recognised in revenue during a single financial period or over the duration of the contracts.
The capacity additions at Naidupeta and the higher module capacity are part of a broader effort by Indian solar manufacturers to expand domestic production. For project developers and EPC companies, increased local availability of cells and modules can affect procurement planning and delivery schedules. The statement, however, did not specify the share of the new orders that would be supplied from the Andhra Pradesh facility.
Premier Energies has not disclosed the names of the customers, the expected delivery timelines for the 2,308 MW of cell and module orders, or the project locations associated with the EPC work. The next operational milestones will therefore be the fulfilment schedule for the new orders and the ramp-up of the company’s expanded manufacturing facilities.
