West Bengal Government Allots Land to Websol for Greenfield 4 GW Solar Cell and Module Facility
Kolkata, 23 September 2026 – Websol Energy System Limited (Websol or the Company) (BSE: 517498,
NSE: WEBELSOLAR), has announced that the Government of West Bengal has allotted a parcel of land
measuring about 54.20 acres to the Company at Falta Industrial Park, Kolkata, West Bengal for its planned
greenfield solar manufacturing facility.
The new facility is planned with 4 GW of solar cell capacity and 4 GW of solar module manufacturing
capacity, to be developed in two phases of 2GW each.
The land allotment follows Websol’s evaluation of locations close to its existing manufacturing operations
at the Falta Special Economic Zone in West Bengal. The decision to expand in West Bengal allows Websol
to build on more than three decades of operating experience in the state. Its existing presence provides
access to a readily available base of skilled manpower, established supplier relationships, and deep
familiarity with the local ecosystem - factors expected to support faster execution than a facility built in
an entirely new location.
The proposed facility will also create a larger integrated manufacturing base for Websol in eastern India
at a time when domestic solar manufacturing capacity is expanding to support India’s growing renewable
energy requirements.
Commenting on the allotment, Mr. Sohan Lal Agarwal, Chairman & Managing Director, Websol Energy
System Ltd, said: " “When Websol entered solar manufacturing in the mid-1990s, the industry in India was
still at a very early stage. Today, solar is becoming an increasingly important part of the country’s energy
infrastructure, and the need for strong domestic manufacturing has never been clearer.
For us, this land allotment represents the next phase of a journey that began more than three decades ago
in West Bengal. It allows us to build at a significantly larger scale while remaining close to an ecosystem,
workforce and operating base we know well. As India expands its solar capacity, we believe manufacturing
must grow alongside it, across regions and closer to demand. This project is Websol’s contribution to
building that deeper domestic manufacturing base.”
Ms. Sanjana Khaitan, Executive Director, Websol Energy System Ltd, added: The real focus now is
execution — moving from land allotment to construction, commissioning and utilisation. We have always
believed that growth should be measured not just by installed capacity, but by how efficiently that capacity
translates into production, delivery and revenue. That is the approach we will continue to follow as we
work towards our 2028 targets"
