Indian domestic manufacturer Bluebird Solar has secured a substantial 278 MW solar PV module supply order from Bridge & Roof Company (India) Limited, a Government of India enterprise. This strategic partnership facilitates the deployment of high-efficiency modules for utility-scale renewable energy projects developed by SJVN, a Navratna Public Sector Undertaking (PSU), across strategic sites in Gujarat and Rajasthan.

Key Project Breakdown

The 278 MW supply agreement is structured to support the capacity requirements of two major state-backed solar developments:

  • Khavda, Gujarat Project: 133 MW capacity located within the world’s largest renewable energy park.
  • Nawa, Rajasthan Project: 145 MW module supply order. This allocation supports the 100 MW (AC) project in the Didwana-Kuchaman district, a high-profile site for which Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone.
  • Contractual Structure and Compliance: Bridge & Roof Company (India) Limited issued the order for projects developed by SJVN. Industry analysts note that these projects are likely positioned outside the mandatory Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) use rules, enabling the selection of advanced N-Type TOPCon technology to maximize generation efficiency.

Corporate Context & Future Roadmap

Current Manufacturing Footprint Bluebird Solar currently operates a 2.5 GW fully automated module manufacturing facility in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. This facility serves as the cornerstone for the company’s current delivery capabilities. Industry analysts emphasize that securing large-scale PSU demand is a critical factor for capacity utilization for domestic module makers as they scale their operations.

Strategic Expansion Plans To strengthen domestic manufacturing resilience and move toward a fully integrated model, Bluebird Solar has outlined the following investment targets:

  • Upstream Integration: Establishment of 2.5 GW of solar cell manufacturing capacity to match existing module output.
  • Ingot and Wafer Production: Development of dedicated facilities for wafer and ingot manufacturing.
  • Storage Solutions: Strategic diversification into Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to address grid stability needs.

This 278 MW order plays a vital role in reinforcing domestic manufacturing resilience and supporting India’s national target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel energy capacity by 2030.
