  • SECI Invites Bids for 5.29 MW Grid-Connected Rooftop Solar Projects Under RESCO Mode

    The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has invited bids from Solar Power Developers (SPDs) for the development of 5.29 MW (5,290 kW) of grid-connected rooftop solar photovoltaic (RTSPV) projects under the RESCO (Renewable Energy Service Company) mode through tariff-based competitive bidding. The initiative forms part of RTSPV Tranche-XII and aims to expand rooftop solar deployment across multiple client organisations.

    Under the tender, the selected developers will be responsible for the complete design, engineering, procurement, supply, installation, testing, commissioning, and operation and maintenance (O&M) of the rooftop solar projects throughout the term of the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). The scope also includes obtaining grid connectivity approvals, net-metering permissions, insurance, and all statutory clearances required for project execution.

    The projects will be implemented under the RESCO model, wherein developers will invest in, own, operate, and maintain the rooftop solar plants while supplying electricity to the respective client organisations. The rooftop solar systems will primarily utilise photovoltaic technology, with the tender remaining technology-agnostic for eligible solar PV solutions.

    SECI stated that the estimated cumulative project capacity is around 5,290 kW, while the final capacity for each project will be confirmed during the execution of the Power Purchase Agreement following site assessments and mutual agreement between the developer and the client organisation.

    According to the tender conditions, the selected developers will sign separate Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with the respective client organisations. Each PPA will remain valid for 25 years from the commercial operation date (COD) of the project, providing long-term revenue visibility for developers.

    The tender also requires developers to submit performance guarantees and service charges before PPA execution. SECI will facilitate the PPA signing process after verifying compliance with the tender’s technical, financial, and shareholding requirements. Developers executing projects through Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) must maintain the prescribed controlling shareholding for at least one year after project commissioning.

    The initiative is expected to support India’s rooftop solar expansion by enabling government and institutional consumers to adopt clean energy under the RESCO model while reducing upfront investment requirements. The projects will also contribute to increasing distributed renewable energy capacity and advancing the country’s clean energy transition.

  • Emmvee Unveils 9 GW Ingot and Wafer Manufacturing Roadmap to Strengthen Solar Value Chain

    Emmvee Unveils 9 GW Ingot and Wafer Manufacturing Roadmap to Strengthen Solar Value Chain

    Emmvee Photovoltaic Power Limited reported its strongest first-quarter performance to date for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, with profit after tax (PAT) more than doubling year-on-year. The company’s PAT increased by 103% to ₹380.3 crore, while revenue from operations grew 51% year-on-year to ₹1,555.5 crore, compared to ₹1,027.8 crore in Q1 FY26.

    The company achieved its highest-ever quarterly performance, supported by increased production volumes, improved capacity utilisation, and deeper integration of internally manufactured solar cells. Emmvee reported record EBITDA and PAT margins of 35.24% and 24.2%, respectively, reflecting operational efficiency and improved manufacturing integration.

    The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results for Q1 FY27 at its meeting held on July 15, 2026. Following the strong quarterly performance, the company has set an FY27 EBITDA target of ₹2,400 crore and expects stable EBITDA per watt of approximately ₹2.5 for modules and ₹6.5 for solar cells.

    During the quarter, EBITDA increased by 56% year-on-year to ₹548.1 crore, compared to ₹350.5 crore in Q1 FY26. The EBITDA margin improved to 35.24% from 34.10%, registering an expansion of 114 basis points. The company’s Profit Before Tax (PBT) grew by 96% to ₹469.6 crore, compared to ₹240.2 crore in the corresponding quarter last year. The company reported a basic and diluted EPS of ₹5.49, while the paid-up equity share capital remained unchanged at ₹13,846.90 lakh.

    Emmvee recorded a strong improvement in manufacturing output during Q1 FY27, achieving its highest-ever quarterly production volumes. Solar module production increased by 53% year-on-year to 970 MW, while solar cell production grew 26% to 454 MW. The effective solar cell capacity utilisation improved significantly to 83%, compared to 68% in Q1 FY26, supported by higher internal cell consumption and improved operational efficiency.

    As of the end of Q1 FY27, Emmvee had an installed annual manufacturing capacity of approximately 10.3 GW for solar modules and 2.94 GW for TOPCon solar cells. The company continues to strengthen its integrated solar manufacturing capabilities to meet growing demand across domestic and international markets.

    During the quarter, the company secured order inflows of 1.48 GW, taking its total order book to an all-time high of approximately 9.9 GW. The order pipeline is diversified across independent power producers (IPPs) and commercial and industrial (C&I) customers, with a repeat customer rate of 57%, reflecting strong customer relationships and market confidence.

    On the expansion front, Emmvee’s 6 GW integrated TOPCon cell and module expansion project remains on schedule. The module line is expected to be commissioned by December 2026, while the cell line is targeted for completion by March 2027. Upon completion, the company’s total manufacturing capacity is expected to increase to approximately 16.3 GW for solar modules and 8.9 GW for solar cells by the end of FY27.

    The total investment for this expansion is estimated at ₹5,500 crore, with ₹3,300 crore of debt funding already tied up at a cost of below 8%. The expansion will further strengthen Emmvee’s position as an integrated solar module and cell manufacturer.

    Additionally, the company has outlined a medium-term plan for 9 GW backward integration into ingot and wafer manufacturing, to be implemented in two phases — 5 GW by FY29 and 4 GW by FY30. The timeline will depend on clarity regarding ALMM List III requirements and prevailing market conditions, with funding expected to be largely supported through internal accruals.

    With strong financial performance, expanding manufacturing capacity, and a robust order pipeline, Emmvee Photovoltaic Power continues to strengthen its position in India’s growing solar manufacturing ecosystem.
