Waaree Energies clarifies that its Odisha facility remains active and integral to its 6 GW solar expansion.

-
Odisha retains a strategic role in Waaree’s roadmap, with ongoing support from the state government.
Waaree Energies Limited, India’s leading solar panel manufacturer, has issued a formal clarification regarding its expansion strategy for the planned 6 GW integrated solar manufacturing capacity, following media speculation and public interest about its commitment to the Odisha facility.
In an official statement issued on June 21, 2025, the company sought to reaffirm its long-term commitment to Odisha, even as it undertakes a strategic realignment of project components across multiple geographies to better align with its Initial Public Offering (IPO) goals.
🔍 Clarification on Board Resolution and Strategic Shift
This clarification follows the Board Meeting held on June 20, 2025, where the company resolved to realign certain elements of its pan-India solar manufacturing strategy. According to Dr. Amit Paithankar, Whole-time Director & CEO of Waaree Energies:
“Waaree Energies has undertaken a strategic realignment of certain components of our planned 6 GW integrated solar manufacturing capacity across multiple geographies. This decision is aimed at accelerating project momentum, optimizing resource utilization, and ensuring timely execution in line with our IPO objectives.”
🏗️ Odisha Facility: On Track and Active
Contrary to speculations of withdrawal, Waaree clarified that construction at the Odisha solar facility is in full swing:
“We want to emphasize that we are not moving away from Odisha. Construction activities are actively ongoing, and contracts for the Odisha facility have been duly awarded and are being executed as planned.”
The company also expressed its gratitude to the Odisha Government for the proactive support and reiterated that Odisha remains an important and strategic part of its long-term roadmap.
This strategic region continues to hold immense potential for Waaree’s ambitions in solar panel manufacturing and renewable energy growth.
🌍 Integrated Approach Across Geographies
Waaree Energies is undertaking an expansive push toward a 6 GW integrated manufacturing footprint. This involves module, cell, and potentially wafer production capabilities, aligned with India's Make-in-India and Atmanirbhar Bharat policies.
The realignment pertains to resource reallocation, operational staging, and timeline optimization to ensure:
-
Timely execution of infrastructure
-
Cost-effective resource deployment
-
Enhanced capital efficiency in line with IPO disclosures
However, these adjustments are tactical rather than structural, and Odisha remains firmly embedded in the company’s overall strategy.
📊 IPO and Market Outlook
Waaree’s strategic moves are being carefully calibrated in light of its upcoming IPO, which aims to raise funds to support its capital-intensive manufacturing plans, expand into export markets, and capture rising domestic demand for solar energy infrastructure.
The company's realignment is seen as part of its effort to create predictable execution timelines, attract global investors, and position itself competitively against global solar module giants.
🌱 Support for India’s Renewable Energy Goals
Waaree reiterated that it remains aligned with national and state-level renewable energy targets, and Odisha's role in this journey remains pivotal:
“We are actively exploring meaningful avenues for collaboration that advance both state and national renewable energy goals,” said Dr. Paithankar.
The company also emphasized its agility in responding to changing project conditions, while ensuring continuity and sustainable business development.
