Today, Hon’ble Chief Minister Sri Nara Chandrababu Naidu, in the presence of Founder, Chairman & CEO Sumant Sinha, Co‑Founder Vaishali Nigam Sinha, and senior leaders of the Andhra Pradesh government, laid the foundation stone for ReNew’s 6.5 GW solar ingot‑wafer manufacturing facility in Anakapalli, Visakhapatnam.
With an investment of ₹4,200 crore, the plant will be commissioned within 24 months, creating over 2,100 direct and indirect jobs. This is part of ReNew’s larger ₹82,000 crore commitment to Andhra Pradesh’s green energy future—advancing Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Hon’ble Chief Minister’s vision of Swarna Andhra Pradesh.
By positioning Visakhapatnam as India’s Silicon Coast, this facility reinforces Andhra Pradesh’s emergence as a hub for advanced clean energy manufacturing. It strengthens supply chain sovereignty, builds long‑term resilience, and anchors India’s role in the global energy transition.
