NEXTracker to expand manufacturing in India

NEXTracker™, a Flex company, announced that it will be manufacturing additional structural components of its solar tracking systems locally in India. By augmenting its supply partners to include APL Apollo Tubes Limited along with four other local steel fabricators already supplying foundation piers to NEXTracker and its customers in India, NEXTracker will be increasing its local steel content percentage to over 80 per cent by volume and weight of its final product.

Localising steel pipe manufacturing will reduce shipment time as much as 50 per cent, reduces logistics costs, aligns closely with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s national solar mission and supports the Make in India program; a national campaign aimed to fuel high value manufacturing jobs, increase investment, and foster innovation
