Fujiyama adds 2 GW to its Manufacturing Unit at Ratlam 

What happened: Fujiyama Power Systems adds a 2,000 MW solar panel production unit at its Ratlam site in Madhya Pradesh. The unit currently runs at approximately 1,000 MW annual capacity on single-shift basis. Full 2,000 MW output is planned for Q4 FY27 through double-shift operations. With this addition, Fujiyama’s aggregate solar panel production capacity stands at 3,568 MW.

Why it matters: The Ratlam site is part of a greenfield project planned for 2,000 MW capacity across three product lines: solar panels, batteries, and inverters. Inverter production equipment has arrived on-site with operations expected in Q1 FY27. Battery production is scheduled for Q2 FY27, following machinery order placement. Delays occurred due to lithium-ion battery technology integration and supply timeline disruptions from geopolitical factors.

Industry context: The expansion supports Fujiyama’s rooftop solar business through backward integration and increased operational scale. The project aims to improve supply-chain efficiency and serve India’s domestic rooftop solar market. Manufacturing capabilities across panels, inverters, and batteries represent an integrated approach to solar equipment production.

Our take: Staggered commissioning across three production lines reveals the different complexity levels in solar equipment manufacturing – execution will decide when the additional capacity gets operational and hit capacity .
