ITI Limited has invited bids to establish 100 MW, 250 MW, and 500 MW solar module manufacturing lines at its facility in Prayagraj, marking a significant step toward strengthening domestic solar manufacturing in Uttar Pradesh.
The move aligns with India’s broader push for self-reliance in solar manufacturing and highlights Uttar Pradesh’s growing importance as a clean energy and industrial hub. With increasing demand for solar modules driven by utility-scale projects and rooftop adoption, such initiatives are expected to accelerate regional manufacturing capabilities and reduce dependence on imports.
This development comes at a time when Uttar Pradesh is witnessing rapid growth in renewable energy adoption across residential, commercial, and industrial segments. Cities like Prayagraj, Varanasi, Lucknow, and Kanpur are emerging as key demand centers, driven by supportive government policies and rising awareness around clean energy.
Against this backdrop, the upcoming PowerPax India Renewable Energy Expo 2026 is set to play a crucial role in further strengthening the region’s solar ecosystem. Scheduled to be held on 02 May – 03 May 2026 in Varanasi, the expo will bring together solar manufacturers, EPC companies, policymakers, investors, and technology providers on a single platform. Registration is free.
The event will focus on key areas such as solar manufacturing, rooftop solar growth, energy storage, EV infrastructure, and policy frameworks, offering stakeholders an opportunity to explore business collaborations and market expansion in Central and Eastern Uttar Pradesh.
With initiatives like ITI’s manufacturing expansion and platforms like PowerPax driving industry engagement, Uttar Pradesh is steadily positioning itself as a major growth engine for India’s renewable energy transition.
The convergence of policy support, manufacturing investments, and industry collaboration is expected to unlock new opportunities across the solar value chain, reinforcing the state’s role in achieving India’s clean energy targets.
