On 9 June 2008, Moser Baer has entered
into an MoU with the Tamil Nadu government to set up a solar photovoltaic
fabrication facility at Oragadam, near Chennai. The plant will be set up at an
investment of Rs.2,000 crore.
The solar PV facility is expected to
come up on 120 acres of land at the Oragadam-Sriperumbudur SIPCOT SEZ. However,
the company has sought about 250 acres for its Chennai unit, provisioning for
future expansion. The plant will be developed in two stages and in the first
stage, a single thin-film solar fabrication facility will be set up following
the land acquisition process.
