What Premier Energies does
Premier Energies Limited is an India-based integrated solar PV manufacturer headquartered in Hyderabad, Telangana, producing monocrystalline solar cells (Mono PERC and TOPCon) and assembling them into modules. As of FY2026 the company operates 10.6 GW of cell capacity and 11.1 GW of module capacity, anchored by an automated TOPCon line at the E-City, Hyderabad facility and a fully automated 5.6 GW G12R zero-busbar TOPCon module line in Seetharampur, Telangana commissioned in March 2026. Its cell portfolio spans P-Type Mono PERC Bifacial (182mm format, up to 23.7% efficiency, 75% bifaciality) and G12R Bifacial TOPCon (182.2mm x 210mm, up to 25.2% efficiency, 85% bifaciality, anti-PID degradation as low as 0.5%); modules span 108-144 cell configurations with output ranging from 380-670 W. The product range is rounded out by the NeoBlack Series all-black G12R DCR module for rooftop applications and a planned 6 GWh Battery Energy Storage Systems facility targeted for March 2027.
The business model is enterprise-led B2B hardware sales of solar cells and modules under multi-year contracts, with FY26 revenue of Rs 7,824.37 crore (+20.03% YoY) generated from domestic Independent Power Producers, module manufacturers, and EPC contractors. Premier Energies served this customer base via an order book of Rs 14,010 crore as of March 31, 2026 (+66% YoY), with margins supported by silver-price hedging (FY26 EBITDA margin 30.3%). A secondary channel routes products to rooftop installers such as Solar Square for distributed/residential and commercial segments. Premier Energies went public via a Rs 2,830 crore IPO in August 2024, is listed on NSE/BSE (ticker PREMIERENE), and is pursuing vertical integration upstream (planned ~10 GW ingot-wafer capacity) and downstream (Transcon Ind 51% acquisition for power transformers; Hexa Energy BH Five 26% stake for captive clean energy). Regulatory positioning is anchored by ALMM List-I and List-II approval, which qualifies the company for projects under the June 2026 DCR/ALMM mandate. A board-approved Rs 5,000 crore QIP fundraising plan and a Rs 12,500 crore multi-year capex programme underpin continued capacity and product-line expansion through FY30.

Product overview
Premier Energies Limited is an integrated solar PV manufacturer and supplier headquartered in Hyderabad, Telangana, India, offering a vertically aligned product platform spanning solar cells, solar modules, and adjacent clean-energy adjacencies rather than a single standalone product. At the foundation are two solar cell families — the Mono PERC Bifacial Solar Cell (P-Type, 182mm format, up to 23.7% efficiency) and the G12R Bifacial TOPCon Solar Cell (N-Type, 182.2mm × 210mm, up to 25.2% efficiency) — produced at the E-City, Hyderabad facility and the Annaram Village, Telangana factory on an automated TOPCon line. These cells feed three solar module architectures — the P-Type Monofacial Module M-10 HC, the P-Type Bifacial Transparent Back Sheet Module M-10 HC, and the P-Type Bifacial Dual Glass Module M-10 & G-12 HC — sold across 108/120/132/144-cell configurations spanning 380–670 W. The flagship retail-focused extension is the NeoBlack Series, an All-Black G12R DCR Solar Module launched in April 2026 for the rooftop market. The integrated platform is further extended into downstream assets (a 2 MW Independent Power Producer solar plant in Jharkhand commissioned in 2012), planned Battery Energy Storage Systems (6 GWh target by March 2027), and recently announced upstream ingot-wafer capacity and a power-transformer entry via the 51% Transcon Ind Limited acquisition — all tied together by the ₹12,500 crore capital expenditure programme to expand across the solar manufacturing value chain. With FY 2026 manufacturing capacity of 10.6 GW for solar cells and 11.1 GW for solar modules and ranking in Wood Mackenzie's 2026 Top 25 Global PV Manufacturers, Premier Energies operates as a fully integrated solar manufacturing platform rather than a single-product company.
