Coal India dissolves solar manufacturing unit ending 4 GW integrated panel plans

Coal India dissolves solar manufacturing unit ending 4 GW integrated panel plans

Coal India has dissolved its solar manufacturing subsidiary, CIL Solar PV Ltd, effectively shutting down plans to enter integrated solar photovoltaic manufacturing via a special-purpose vehicle. A regulatory filing says the company’s name was removed from the Register of Companies under the Companies Act, 2013, after a Ministry of Corporate Affairs public notice in April 2026. The move ends a proposed 4 GW domestic manufacturing push aimed at reducing reliance on imported solar equipment, though Coal India says it will keep investing in renewables.
