Ashish Khanna, ED & CEO, Tata Power Solar, commented, “Reaching the 1 GW milestone is a testimony to our module's global competitiveness and superior quality, honed over the last 27 years. The global solar market is witnessing lucrative growth and this milestone is proof that we are a key Indian player in the domestic as well as international market. We have always believed that solar manufacturing is a key driver of jobs in the country, and will continue to build our base in manufacturing and provide the promise of brand Tata."
