In a significant development for India’s renewable energy sector, Gujarat-based H&H Aluminium Pvt Ltd has inaugurated the country’s largest and most technologically advanced aluminium solar frame manufacturing plant. Situated in Rajkot, the plant is expected to play a crucial role in bolstering domestic solar infrastructure and reducing dependence on imports.
The newly launched facility at village Chibhda in Rajkot boasts a massive production capacity of 24,000 metric tonnes annually. This capacity can support up to 6 Gigawatts of solar installations across India. The plant was officially inaugurated on 4 July 2025 by Shri C. R. Patil, Hon’ble Union Minister of Jal Shakti, in the presence of senior Government officials and the leadership of H&H Aluminium.
Spanning over 28,000 square metres, the facility is a ₹150 crore investment equipped with cutting-edge infrastructure. Trial production at the plant began in June 2025, and full-scale commercial operations are slated to commence within a month. At peak capacity, the plant is expected to generate annual sales between ₹700 crore and ₹750 crore, while also creating employment for more than 300 people.
Currently, India imports around 90–95% of its aluminium solar panel frames. The Rajkot facility is set to make a substantial contribution to the Make in India initiative by fostering domestic manufacturing. Mr Uttam Patel, Director at H&H Aluminium, remarked that the plant was commissioned in just about a year, a record timeline. He expressed gratitude for the state government’s support and highlighted the importance of this move in strengthening India’s solar energy supply chain.
In a major policy push to encourage domestic production, the Government of India imposed anti-dumping duties in September 2024 on imports of anodised aluminium frames from China. The duty, ranging from $403 to $577 per metric tonne (approximately 14%), applies to specified and non-specified Chinese exporters for a period of 5 years. This regulation is expected to offer a level playing field to domestic manufacturers like H&H Aluminium.
India achieved a landmark 100 GW solar power capacity in 2025 and aims to scale this to 280 GW by 2030 as part of its 500 GW renewable energy target. Mr Vijay Kaneria, Director at H&H Aluminium, underscored the immense potential for solar power and allied industries over the next decade and reiterated the company’s commitment to contributing meaningfully to this vision.

H&H Aluminium manufactures aluminium frames that meet stringent international standards such as ASTM and IEC. The frames are RoHS and REACH-compliant, free from hazardous substances, and 100% recyclable.
The Rajkot plant is further enhanced by SCADA and IoT-enabled production lines, real-time monitoring capabilities, a dedicated quality lab, in-house R&D facilities for product customisation, and a zero-liquid discharge anodising setup reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and innovation.
