Why Tata Power Share Price is Rising

Moving on to news from the power sector, shares of Tata Power gained as much as 6% on 10 September as the company announced that a unit of its subsidiary has commenced commercial production of solar cells at India's largest single-location in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, helping boost domestic manufacturing of cells and modules needed to convert sunlight into electricity.

The solar cell production, currently at 2 GW capacity will enhance Tata Power's ability to meet the growing demand for high-quality, and domestically produced solar components, especially for large-scale capacity-addition projects.

The plant is expected to ramp up production with the remaining 2 GW capacity to be added over the next 4-6 weeks, reaching peak production within the next few months. This follows the successful production of solar modules earlier this year.

Having a total cell & module manufacturing capacity of 4.3 GW, the module production line at the Tirunelveli plant was commissioned in October 2023 and has produced 1,250 MW of solar modules to date.

The facility is equipped with advanced TOPCon and Mono Perc technology, enabling high-efficiency production of solar cells and modules.

Tata Power has committed nearly Rs 43 bn towards the establishment of this facility.

The solar cells and modules produced at the Tamil Nadu facility will initially cater to the company's ongoing projects, further strengthening its supply chain.
