Vikram Solar crosses 10 GW in global deployments

As part of its backward integration strategy, the Gangaikondan site will scale up to include 6 GW of modules and 12 GW of cell capacity.
The company is also expanding into energy storage through VSL Powerhive, with a planned 5 GWh BESS facility by FY27, alongside VION, its lithium battery brand for residential and mobility backup solutions.
Gyanesh Chaudhary, Chairman and Managing Director, Vikram Solar, said, “This will enable us to contribute meaningfully to the scale, resilience, and reliability the global energy transition demands.”
