In a strategic move to strengthen its renewable energy portfolio and support India’s domestic manufacturing ecosystem, GK Energy has announced the procurement of 875 MW of solar PV cells under the Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) category for its upcoming solar projects across the country.
According to the company’s official statement, the agreement includes 450 MW of Mono PERC and 425 MW of TOPCon solar cells, both sourced from an undisclosed domestic manufacturer. The supply is scheduled to be completed by March 31, 2027, aligning with the government’s Make in India initiative and the national renewable energy mission.
The procurement agreement encompasses key aspects such as delivery timelines, quality assurance, and compliance with domestic sourcing norms—underscoring GK Energy’s commitment to accelerating India’s clean energy transition while reducing reliance on imported components.
Speaking on the development, a company spokesperson highlighted that this large-scale procurement will not only enhance supply chain reliability but also enable the company to execute its growing pipeline of EPC projects more efficiently. GK Energy is currently engaged in rooftop solar installations and solar water pump projects under various government schemes, including PM-KUSUM.
The announcement follows GK Energy’s successful IPO in September 2025, which raised approximately ₹464 crore (₹400 crore through fresh issue and ₹64 crore via Offer for Sale). The company reported an impressive growth trajectory, with revenues increasing from ₹285.03 crore in FY23 to ₹1,094.83 crore in FY25, and profit after tax rising to ₹133.20 crore in FY25. As of August 2025, GK Energy’s order book stood at ₹1,028 crore.
Industry experts view this procurement as a significant boost to the domestic solar manufacturing ecosystem, as it demonstrates tangible demand for Indian-made solar cells amid evolving DCR policies. Moreover, GK Energy’s decision to incorporate next-generation TOPCon cell technology indicates its focus on improving efficiency and long-term performance across its solar installations.
The initiative reflects India’s larger strategic shift toward self-reliance in renewable energy components and supports the government’s goal of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based energy capacity by 2030.
