«Everything that we manufacture in our new plant, which is already operational, the module plant is fully operational, and the cell plant will become operational in this month and next month. So, we will become very-very resilient in terms of our supply chain and also consistency in terms of quality and the price of the modules,» says Praveer Sinha, CEO & MD, Tata Power.

Let us talk about solar rooftops because you also are a very important player in that. Tell us, what is your current market share? What are the plans going forward? How is it that you plan to scale this up?
Praveer Sinha: So, we have already completed more than 100,000 rooftop solar houses. We are the biggest in the rooftop business. In the organised sector, we have more than 20% market share. We have huge plans to work with the government, especially the PM Surya Ghar Programme, and we are enhancing our capability both in terms of our channel partners, as also in terms of the reach that we will have with our own teams and the supply chain. So, over a period of time, you will see that we will become one of the biggest players of the rooftop solar in the country.

So, let us take the clock back, then we will take the clock forward. Now, when I say I want to take the clock back, three to four years ago Tata Power started reinventing itself.

They decided to expand in the distribution business and they started reducing a lot of debt, that is the last three year
