H&H Aluminium introduces solar plant to power 6 GW installations annually

The company has invested around ₹150 crore in the 28,000 sq. meter state-of-the-art plant, one of the most advanced for solar panel aluminium frames. 

H&H Aluminium Pvt Ltd has launched India’s largest and most advanced aluminium solar frame manufacturing plant at Rajkot, Gujarat (India). The 24,000 metric tons (MT) per annum capacity at village Chibhda in Rajkot can power and support up to 6 Gigawatt (GW) solar installations in India.

The plant was inaugurated by Jal Shakti Minister C. R. Patil, on friday in the presence of senior government officials, the leadership team of H&H Aluminium, and all invited dignitaries. The company has invested around ₹150 crore in the 28,000 sq. meter state-of-the-art plant, one of the most advanced for solar panel aluminium frames. Trial production at the plant commenced in the month of June 2025, and commercial production is expected to start within a month. At full capacity the plant will be able to support sales of ₹700-750 crore per annum. The plant will generate employment opportunities for over 300 people.

Uttam Patel, Director, H&H Aluminium Pvt Ltd, said, “This will be India’s largest and most advanced solar panel aluminium frame plant at a single location, and we were able to install it in a record time of just about a year. We are thankful to the state government and all concerned departments for their support. Currently, India imports 90–95 percent of aluminium solar panel frames; with this plant, we are making a meaningful step towards supporting the Make in India initiative and promoting domestic manufacturing in the solar energy sector. We expect to start commercial production within the next month.”

On 29th September 2024, the Government of India, in order to safeguard the domestic industry, imposed an anti-dumping duty for a period of five years on imports of “Anodised Aluminium Frames for Solar Panels/Modules”originating in or exported from China PR. Consequently, an anti-dumping duty ranging from $403 to $577 per MT (equivalent to 14 percent) is imposed on imports from specified Chinese producers/exporters and any other non-specified entities. The duty is applicable for five years from the notification date.

Vijay Kaneria, Director, H&H Aluminium Pvt Ltd, said, “India has achieved a historic milestone of 100 GW solar power capacity in 2025. In addition, the government has set an ambitious target to install 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, with a significant portion, approximately 280 GW, expected to come from solar power. This represents a huge opportunity for solar power and allied industries over the next 5-10 years.”
