Waaree Energies Limited recently held a ground-breaking ceremony for its upcoming integrated solar ingot and wafer manufacturing facility at Butibori, Nagpur. The facility will house 10 GW capacity each for solar ingots and wafers, establishing it as India’s largest integrated ingot and wafer manufacturing complex.

Spread across 300 acres and being developed with an investment of approximately INR 6,200-crore, the facility will focus on the production of high-purity solar ingots and wafers, which form the critical foundation of the solar photovoltaic value chain. The project is expected to significantly reduce India’s reliance on imported materials, enhance supply chain stability, and support the nation’s long-term goal of achieving energy security through self-reliant clean energy manufacturing.

Once operational, the facility is expected to generate over 8,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities, contributing to regional economic development, skill creation, and industrial growth in Maharashtra.
