On Monday, June 1, 2026, Avaada Group announced an aggressive target to commission 5 GW of renewable energy capacity during the current fiscal year (FY27).
This massive push will effectively more than double the company’s previous annual rollout rate, aiming to expand its total operational green energy portfolio from 7 GW to 12 GW by March 2027.
Project Blueprint: The 5 GW Clean Energy Push
The upcoming capacity addition is designed to move beyond plain solar installations, adopting a diversified grid-balancing approach.
- Technology Mix: The 5 GW pipeline will feature a hybrid combination of utility-scale solar, wind farms, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
- Geographical Layout: Projects are actively under execution across India’s primary high-irradiance and high-wind corridors: Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Rajasthan.
- De-risking Timelines: The 5 GW expansion is fully secured with locked-in Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and confirmed ISTS (Inter-State Transmission System) grid-connectivity approvals.
Overcoming FY26 Bottlenecks: Avaada successfully added 2 GW of capacity in the previous financial year. However, an additional 1–2 GW of projects sat idle due to structural delays in PPA executions and state transmission line readiness. Chairman Vineet Mittal noted that commissioning timelines are now being rigorously synchronized with actual sub-station completion schedules to avoid trapped capital.
The Nagpur “Super Factory”: 90% Import Independent
To feed its massive 30 GW by 2030 long-term target, Avaada is building an upstream solar manufacturing complex at Butibori in Nagpur, Maharashtra. Rather than operating a standard gigafactory that relies on imported components, the group is pioneering a co-located “Super Factory” model.
- Cell Production Line Lineup: Avaada expects to fully operationalize a 6 GW solar cell production line during the current fiscal year.
- Ingot & Wafer Backward Integration: The facility will break ground on manufacturing lines for wafers and ingots on the same campus next year, cutting off deep reliance on Chinese raw materials.
- On-Site Ancillaries: A dedicated solar glass manufacturing plant is already under construction at the Nagpur site and is scheduled to commission within the next 12 months.
- Supply Chain Impact: Once the full multi-tier ecosystem is running under one roof, Avaada will compress its import dependence to below 10%, making it one of the most vertically secure solar OEMs in the country.
