Odisha government has allocated about 70 acres to Inox Solar — a subsidiary of Inox Clean — for setting up a ₹4,000 crore solar cell and solar module manufacturing plant at Dhenkanal, official sources said, on Tuesday.
The newly allocated site will house a 4.8 GW Solar Cell and 4.8 GW Solar Module plant and will enable Inox Solar to establish a cutting-edge manufacturing facility. Inox Clean is part of the INOXGFL Group and earlier this year, INOXGFL Group had announced a ₹4,000 crore investment through Inox Solar, to establish a state-of-the-art Solar Cell and Solar Module manufacturing unit in Odisha. The High-Level Clearance Authority (HLCA)-approved project is expected to generate over 3,400 jobs.
In an official release shared by INOXGFL Group, chief minister of Odisha, Mohan Charan Majhi was quoted as saying, “This investment aligns with our dream of transforming Odisha into a green energy powerhouse. By facilitating the establishment of a solar cell and module manufacturing plant, we are not only promoting sustainable industrial growth but also creating new job opportunities and boosting economic development across the state.”
Devansh Jain, Executive Director of INOXGFL Group, stated, “We are honoured to partner with the Odisha Government in their mission to promote green energy and aid Prime Minister’s vision of transforming India into a clean energy hub. This strategic land allocation allows us to expand our solar energy footprint, reinforcing our commitment to India’s clean energy goals. By leveraging our expertise in renewable energy, we aim to deliver world-class manufacturing solutions that empower businesses and communities alike.”
