Vikram Solar wins 187 MW module supply deal
Vikram Solar has won an order to supply 187 MW of solar modules to an unnamed domestic customer for projects in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The company will provide bifacial glass-to-glass N-Type TOPCon G12R modules rated between 615 and 625 Wp, with delivery required by December 2026. The article also notes Vikram Solar's earlier 400 MW module order and a planned battery storage assembly plant in Tamil Nadu.
Vikram Solar's new 187 MW contract covers modules for three sites in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, with an unnamed local buyer. The panels are bifacial glass-to-glass N-Type TOPCon G12R models rated 615–625 Wp, and delivery is due by December 2026.
The order follows two related moves: in October 2026, subsidiary VSL PowerHive outlined a 7.5 GWh battery storage assembly plant in Oragadam, Tamil Nadu, set to open in January 2027 and begin commercial operation in April 2027, later scaling to 15 GWh. In September 2026, Vikram Solar also won a 400 MW module order for decentralized Maharashtra solar projects, using 620 Wp N-Type TOPCon G12R glass-to-glass bifacial half-cut modules.
The order and planned battery assembly could strengthen solar deployment in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, potentially giving residents and businesses more access to cleaner electricity and supporting grid reliability. Manufacturing and assembly activity may create skilled and semi-skilled jobs in Tamil Nadu, while Maharashtra's decentralized projects could bring power closer to users. Actual benefits may depend on timely delivery, grid readiness, and how much of the added capacity displaces fossil generation.
