Written summary
ASM is the module brand of Adani Solar, a division of the Adani Group, one of India's largest conglomerates, headquartered in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Adani Solar established its solar cell and module manufacturing facility in Mundra around 2015 and currently holds BloombergNEF Tier 1 bankability status - it is targeting a combined cell and module production capacity of 10 GW by mid-2026, up from roughly 4 GW as of 2024. Loom Solar is an independent startup headquartered in Faridabad, Haryana, recognized as a government-of-India registered startup. Its current module output is in the range of 300 MW, with a 1.2 GW factory in Uttar Pradesh announced at REI 2025 but not yet operational. Loom Solar holds ALMM and BIS approvals but has not been publicly listed on the BNEF Tier 1 roster. On institutional footprint and bankability, ASM-Adani Solar has a considerably stronger standing.
ASM modules span P-type Mono PERC and, more recently, N-type TOPCon variants including bifacial dual-glass panels aimed at residential rooftop, commercial, and utility-scale ground-mount projects across India. Loom Solar's flagship family is the SHARK series - TOPCon bifacial and HJT panels ranging from 575 Wp to 730 Wp - targeting primarily residential and small commercial rooftop installations. The SHARK 575 W TOPCon bifacial module carries a reported front-side efficiency of around 22.3 percent and is BIS and ALMM certified, making it eligible for subsidy programs such as PM Surya Ghar.
For a residential buyer purchasing through India's direct or e-commerce channel, Loom Solar's SHARK series offers competitive N-type technology with accessible distribution. For buyers financing larger commercial or utility projects, Adani Solar's Tier 1 bankability and multi-gigawatt production scale will weigh more heavily with lenders and EPC contractors. The two brands serve the same national market but at different tiers - Adani Solar for institutional-grade procurement and Loom Solar for the retail-oriented rooftop segment.
