Joint Solar Moves into Next Growth Phase with Higher-Efficiency Solar Module Manufacturing in India
Joint Solar , a trusted name in the renewable energy segment has announced next phase of growth with higher efficiency solar modules manufacturing among its key focus areas. Backed by more than two decades in business, the company has established a 1.3 GW manufacturing base and executed over five lakh installations pan-India. Mr. Vinod Sharma, Managing Director, Joint Solar Founded by engineer duo Mr. Vinod Sharma and Mrs. Pratibha Sharma , Joint Solar began operations in the year 2000 when awareness around solar energy was still limited or almost negligible in most parts of the country. Joint Solar initially focused on products such as solar street lights, solar power plants, solar high mast systems and solar pumps, before expanding its operations in 2009 and widening its footprint across multiple regions. Over the years, the company has executed more than five lakh installations pan-India, with a strong presence across North India, including Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Delhi-NCR, while also expanding into eastern markets such as Odisha, West Bengal, Nagaland and Mizoram. Joint Solar said it currently manufactures solar panels across poly, mono and TOPCon technologies, aligned with changing customer demand and evolving efficiency requirements. The company operates two plants, including a major manufacturing facility in Pilakhua near Hapur with 1.3 GW capacity, supporting its focus on large-scale production and advanced solar modules. The company has also set a target to produce more than 5,000 higher-efficiency modules daily, as it aligns manufacturing capabilities with rising demand in the sector. Speaking on the company’s journey, Mr. Vinod Sharma, Managing Director, Joint Solar , said, “When we started in 2000, awareness around solar energy was limited. Over the years, the market has changed significantly and customer expectations have evolved. We have grown with these changes by upgrading technologies, expanding manufacturing and staying focused on dependable products.” He added, “Our approach has been to combine experience with continuous improvement. We have an R&D division that works on technology upgrades and product development, and we remain committed to contributing to India’s renewable energy goals through quality manufacturing.” Joint Solar said customer demand is increasingly shifting towards advanced and higher-efficiency technologies, prompting manufacturers to stay aligned with product innovation. The company said its focus remains on upgrading product offerings and strengthening its position in line with changing market requirements. The company also said continuous technology upgradation and in-house research remain important areas of focus, with efforts directed at aligning product offerings with evolving market needs. Joint Solar said its recent industry recognition, including the Award for Excellence in Renewable Energy, has added encouragement to its focus on quality manufacturing and long-term growth. Commenting on wider solar adoption in India, Mr. Sharma said awareness remains a key challenge. “Lack of awareness continues to be one of the reasons solar has not expanded to its full potential. We have been making continuous efforts to spread awareness about renewable energy and help build confidence around solar solutions,” he said. The company said smaller cities and emerging markets continue to present opportunities, with dealer-led growth and stronger distribution remaining important focus areas. Joint Solar said its long-term priorities remain centered on advanced manufacturing, technology upgradation and supporting the broader clean energy transition through reliable solar solutions.

NC has abandoned Article 370 fight, betrayed mandate: Aga Ruhullah
Signalling a deepening political divergence over governance priorities rather than a fresh rupture, Srinagar MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi on Sunday asserted that the ruling Jammu and Kashmir National Conference has effectively stopped striving for restoration of Article 370, describing it as an injustice with the peoples mandate. Addressing reporters after a public event, Mehdi framed his criticism as a reflection of public sentiment, saying the partys electoral commitment was anchored in restoring constitutional guarantees rather than pursuing limited administrative goals. The National Conference leaderships primary promise to the people was to pursue an institutional struggle for the restoration of Article 370 and constitutional protections, he said, adding that hey (NC) dislike me because I continue to remind them of those principles. He rejected the argument that statehood alone constituted the core public mandate. People did not vote merely for the restoration of statehood. Had that been the case, they might have supported the BJP, which had itself assured statehood in Parliament, he said, referring to the Bharatiya Janata Party. According to Mehdi, the party initially recalibrated its position by prioritising statehood as an achievable step, but has since retreated further. Now, in its second year, the government appears to have abandoned even the demand for statehood, he said.He also pointed to what he described as a pattern of policy retreat. For some time, they pursued the issue of business rules, but that effort has also been abandoned. After certain decisions and protocols were approved by New Delhi for select individuals, the leadership has chosen silence, he said. In effect, the government is no longer actively pursuing statehood, constitutional protections, or even business rules. This represents a betrayal of the peoples mandate. Mehdi said the growing public discontent mirrors his own position. There is visible resentment among the people. I reflect that sentiment while maintaining my differences, he said. Expanding his remarks to national developments, Mehdi criticised the defeated Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, linking it to a potential delimitation exercise tied to the implementation of the Women's Reservation Bill. He clarified that the womens quota legislation remains in force but argued that the rejected proposal could have enabled structural distortions. What has been defeated is a so-called delimitation bill that would have led to gerrymandering, similar to what was done in Jammu and Kashmir. Constituency boundaries were altered along communal lines, he alleged. He warned that the proposed expansion of parliamentary seats could have shifted national power dynamics. States like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan would have seen a substantial increase in seatspotentially around 400 collectivelyallowing them to take decisions for the entire country, he said, adding that such a framework could marginalise southern states, West Bengal and several northeastern regions. Drawing a parallel with the 2019 developments surrounding Article 370, Mehdi questioned the democratic legitimacy of such processes. Was Article 370 removed with the concurrence of the people of Jammu and Kashmir? No. Similarly, this bill would have disenfranchised several regions, he said. Reiterating his central argument, Mehdi maintained that even a phased political approach is no longer visible. Even if we accept the argument of pursuing what is achievable first, this government does not seem to be fighting for even statehood now. This, to me, is an injustice with the mandate of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, he added. The Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, which proposed increasing the strength of the Lok Sabha from 543 to 816 seats following a delimitation exercise based on the 2011 Census, failed to pass in Parliament after falling short of the required two-thirds majority, with 298 votes in favour and 230 against, against the required 352.
