Grew Solar, a renewable energy venture of Ahmedabad-based Chiripal Group, will invest INR 300 billion ($3.5 billion) to build a three-stage backward-integrated solar module plant in Madhya Pradesh.

The facility, located in Narmadapuram near Bhopal, will cover 60 acres and produce 3 GW of ingots, wafers, and cells per year. Once operational, it will create more than 1,000 jobs in the region.

Grew Solar currently operates a 3 GW manufacturing facility in Jaipur, with another 5 GW under development in Dudu, Jaipur, bringing the plant’s total capacity to 8 GW.
