Fujiyama Power Systems Limited has commissioned a 2,000 MW solar panel manufacturing facility at Ratlam in Madhya Pradesh, strengthening its integrated solar manufacturing capabilities and expanding its domestic production footprint.
The Ratlam facility is part of the company’s greenfield manufacturing expansion project aimed at enhancing backward integration and increasing operational scale across its rooftop solar business. The project has been designed with a planned manufacturing capacity of 2,000 MW each for solar panels, batteries, and inverters.
According to the company, the solar panel manufacturing unit will initially operate at an annualized capacity of around 1,000 MW under single-shift operations, with phased expansion planned through double-shift operations to achieve full capacity utilization by the fourth quarter of FY27.
With the commissioning of the Ratlam plant, Fujiyama’s total solar panel manufacturing capacity has increased to 3,568 MW.
The company stated that commissioning timelines for its inverter and battery manufacturing lines at the same facility experienced delays due to the integration of advanced lithium-ion battery technologies and geopolitical disruptions affecting supply timelines during project execution.
Fujiyama said the inverter manufacturing line is expected to become operational in Q1 FY27, with machinery already received at the site. The battery manufacturing line is expected to be commissioned in Q2 FY27 following the placement of machinery orders.
The Ratlam expansion is expected to support the company’s long-term strategy of strengthening supply-chain efficiencies, increasing backward integration, and scaling up manufacturing operations to meet growing demand in India’s rooftop solar market.
Commenting on the development, Pawan Kumar Garg said the commissioning of the Ratlam solar panel facility marks a significant milestone in the company’s manufacturing expansion strategy and enhances its ability to serve the rapidly growing domestic rooftop solar sector with improved scale and operational efficiency.
