RenewSys India Pvt Ltd, a global leader in solar manufacturing, has inked a groundbreaking Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Industries Department of Telangana, affirming an estimated investment of INR 6,000 crore. This move not only reinforces RenewSys' commitment to sustainable energy solutions but also positions Telangana as a potential hub for solar panel equipment.

RenewSys, headquartered in Singapore, has already established manufacturing plants in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Patalganga. However, the decision to set up its largest integrated facility in Telangana reflects the state's allure as a conducive investment destination. The phased investment plan spans diverse aspects of solar manufacturing, encompassing PV modules and cells, underlining a comprehensive commitment toward green energy.
