The company operates 11 manufacturing plants across Maharashtra and Gujarat and plans to commence trial production at new facilities in Pimpalnare, Nashik, and Ohio, USA, in August 2024. Additionally, two new manufacturing units are under construction near Nashik and Pune.

For FY24, PMEA Solar’s revenue surged by 87.34% to ₹1,500.20 Crore from ₹800.79 Crore the previous year, and its profit after tax increased to ₹103.64 Crore from ₹27.44 Crore. IIFL Capital Services and ICICI Securities are serving as the book-running lead managers for the IPO.
