In addition, he added, they plan to produce high-value modules locally, starting with advanced N-type TOPCon solar cells in the first phase; in the second phase, Involt Energy plans to combine silicon wafer manufacturing with 3GW of capacity per year to improve quality control, reduce costs and enhance supply chain resilience.
In the first phase, companies expect to create more than 2,100 jobs locally, while in the second phase, the total number of direct jobs will increase to 1,200 and indirect jobs to more than 3,000.
It is reported that the project has not yet been supported by the Indian government's production linkage incentives (PLI), but the company hopes to receive government incentives in the future.
