An Ambitious Push to Cut Import Dependence: Dr Vivek Bindra’s Bada Business Investee Luno Solar Plans 2.4 GW Solar Cell Line
Narmadapuram (Madhya Pradesh) [India], October 15: Luno Solar, an investee company of Bada Business associated with entrepreneur and investor Dr Vivek Bindra, is planning to expand India’s domestic solar manufacturing capabilities with a proposed 2.4 GW solar-cell production line. The company held the groundbreaking ceremony for its Luno Renewable Park on 12 October 2026 at the Mohasa-Babai Industrial Area in Narmadapuram, Madhya Pradesh. Planned across 45 acres, the facility is designed to bring solar cells, modules, inverters and battery energy storage systems under one roof.
Luno Solar’s association with Bada Business through its Idea to IPO initiative adds a business-growth dimension to its manufacturing ambitions. As the company plans to expand domestic production of advanced solar cells and other clean-energy components, its journey reflects the broader challenge of building Indian enterprises with the scale and capabilities to compete in strategically important sectors.
Strengthening a critical part of the solar supply chain
Solar cells are a fundamental component of photovoltaic modules. While India continues to expand its solar installations, strengthening domestic manufacturing of these components is an important part of building a more resilient supply chain and reducing exposure to imports.
Luno’s proposed cell line will use advanced TOPCon technology based on G12 and G12R wafers. According to the company’s first-phase estimates, the line is expected to produce approximately 2.2 lakh cells per day, equivalent to around 8 crore cells annually. These are planned production estimates, not current output.
