India's Sahaj Solar Plans 750MW Module Line in U.A.E. — OPIS

About this update from Sahaj Solar Limited

Sahaj Solar has announced a 50-50 joint venture with Clarion Investments to develop a 750 megawatt module production facility in the United Arab Emirates, the solar manufacturer said on Tuesday.In response to OPIS' queries, Sahaj Solar said the module line, which will be located in Abu Dhabi, is expected to begin commercial operations in the first quarter of 2027 and will use the Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact, or TOPCon technology."This strategic joint venture marks an important step in our global expansion journey and reflects our commitment towards building sustainable energy infrastructure," said Managing Director Parmit Brahmbhatt.The planned facility will target growing demand for advanced solar energy solutions across the Gulf Cooperation Council region and the U.S.This follows the U.S. Department of Commerce's announcement of preliminary anti-dumping tariffs on solar cells and modules made in India, Laos and Indonesia in late April. The DOC set preliminary antidumping margins of 123.04% for India, 22.46% for Laos and 35.17% for Indonesia, raising potential barriers for solar exports from these countries to the American market.Industry sources said U.S. buyers had previously considered India, Laos and Indonesia as alternative supply bases amid trade scrutiny on Southeast Asian solar exports. Following the launch of the antidumping and countervailing duties probe, several Asian producers began exploring manufacturing options in the Middle East and North Africa to diversify export routes.Sahaj Solar currently operates a 100MW solar photovoltaic module manufacturing facility in Bavla, Gujarat, and also provides end-to-end engineering, procurement and construction services. The company has outlined plans to expand its photovoltaic capacity to 1.5 gigawatts.This content was created by Oil Price Information Service, which is operated by Dow Jones & Co.
