Adani Solar, one of the largest manufacturers of solar panels in India, recently received significant global recognition, becoming the first Indian solar manufacturer to ship over 15,000 megawatts to customers worldwide. This achievement is a breakthrough, as no Indian manufacturer has reached this limit before, making it a landmark milestone for the renewable energy sector.
Out of this, 10,000 MW of shipments contributed to installations within India, with the additional 5,000 MW forming part of our overseas exports, enabling us to manufacture close to 28 million solar modules, sufficient to cover 7,500 football pitches. Also critical is that almost 70% of the modules fabricated during fiscal year 2021 were manufactured in India, signifying a key alignment with Adani Solar’s Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat paradigms.
Adani Solar expects its production capacity to reach 10,000 MW next financial year, up from 4,000 MW, and projects that it will additionally export 15,000 MW in the following few years. Furthermore, according to research firm Wood Mackenzie, Adani Solar is the sole Indian solar module maker among the earth’s ten most prominent producers.
Adani Solar’s distribution network comprises 35 exclusive channel partners across more than 550 districts in India, ensuring the broad availability of superior solar products. The company has shipped enough capable modules to power up to 5 million homes with inexpensive, clean solar energy. Consequently, 2,500 green jobs have been generated while saving 60 million tons of carbon dioxide every year. The modules already shipped would circumnavigate the Earth 1.5 times, totaling 65,000 km.
India’s solar manufacturing capacity has grown dramatically from 2.3 GW in 2014 to about 100 GW in 2025, with over 100 domestic manufacturers operating. In the first half of FY 2025-26, India’s solar exports rose 20% year-on-year to $668 million, driven by demand from the US, UAE, Kenya, Hungary, and Iran.
Adani Solar also has a significant share of India’s rooftop solar market. In the last year, it shipped 1.78 GW of modules, enough to power almost 594,000 homes. It provides 54% of the solar panels for the Government’s Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, which plans to give solar power to 10 million homes by 2027.
India, for example, now has more than half of its installed electricity capacity from non-fossil fuels, putting the country ahead of the Paris Agreement schedule by 5 years and aiming to reach 500 gigawatts of clean energy capacity by 2030. Adani Solar’s vertically integrated production — from ingots and wafers to modules and ancillary materials such as solar glass, EVA, and aluminum frames — is a significant contribution to India’s energy revolution toward reliable, sustainable energy.
This milestone shows that India is becoming a stronger player in the global solar power market and that Adani Solar is leading the country’s clean energy efforts.
