Backed by the Chiripal Group’s 52-year legacy of manufacturing excellence, GREW Solar has quickly risen to prominence since its inception in 2022. In its first year, the company launched M10 modules of up to 550 Wp and commissioned 1.2 GW of PV module manufacturing at Dudu, Rajasthan. By 2025, GREW Solar scaled its operational capacity to 3.0 GW delivering high-efficiency M10 TOPCon modules of up to 590 Wp. The company is currently expanding its Dudu plant to 11.0 GW, making it one of India’s largest AI powered, integrated solar PV module manufacturing plant equipped with its own state-of-the-art R&D laboratory.
Looking ahead, GREW will initially establish a 3.0 GW solar PV cell plant at Narmadapuram, Madhya Pradesh, followed by an capacity expansion to 8.0 GW by end of 2026 at same location, enabling backward integration.
