Tata Power to Establish 10 GW Solar Manufacturing Plant in Odisha by 2028
Tata Power has finalized Odisha as the location for its 6,675-crore, 10 GW solar wafer and ingot manufacturing plant, to be built on Tata Steel SEZ land in Gopalpur. Work is set to begin in October 2024, with operations expected by January 2028. The decision favored Odisha over Andhra Pradesh due to incentives, infrastructure, and ready land availability. The plant aims to tap into Europe's renewables market, focusing on non-Chinese supply chains, with export potential of 2 to 3 gigawatts to one country. Tata Power's existing 4.3 GW cell module plant is operating at full capacity without expansion plans.
