Mundra Solar, a special purpose vehicle floated by Adani group is setting up an integrated solar manufacturing plant in Mundra. The project comprises making polysilicon crystals, slicing them into wafers, using the wafers to make solar cells, and using the cells to make solar modules which generate power. The first phase involves a solar cell and module manufacturing plant with a capacity of 1200 MW. In the second phase it will expand capacity to 2000 MW and start making silicon wafers and in the third phase that polysilicon manufacturing will begin. As of June 2016, work on the first phase has begun and it is expected to be completed by December 2016.
