1. Be a global player and a major domestic player in the area of Solar Photovoltaic. (SPV)
   
   
2. Expand SPV marketing operations particularly Export by giving due thrust to utilize full enhanced production capacity (12 MWp per annum) and look forward for further capacity enhancement.
   
   
3. Develop Building Integrated Photovoltaic Module (BIPV) considering its enormous commercial potential for roof top (as a building material) and economic at medium size SPV power plant applications in near future in domestic and also export markets
   
   
4. Identify an appropriate technology from among a number of PV technologies currently being pursued, taking into account prevailing SPV production technology trends, availability of production worthy technology, cost effectiveness and investment, for commercial production on long term basis and pursue for technology tie-up and other related activities for its induction.
   
   
5. Retain leadership position, expanded portfolio of signaling and Safety equipment to meet Railways’ emerging requirements for modernization of their signaling and telecom network.
   
   
6. Built linkages with SSPL and other DRDO Labs, working on future technologies for Phased Array Radars, keeping in view long term business plan in this area.
   
   

CEL will target the production of Solar Cells and Modules up to 25 MW per annum by the year 2012. The main emphasis will be to establish/state of the art process technology, to enhance the productivity and conversion efficiency and to use thinner wafer (around 200 micron). CEL is in the process of establishing in-line manufacturing/testing facilities by year 2012.

Safety being the highest priority in Indian Railways, large-scale deployment of modern signaling & safety equipment is envisaged. The present infrastructure will be upgraded so that the stringent specifications and requirements not only of Indian Railways but also international level to generate export are met. CEL will acquire sophisticated latest production equipment (CAM) for the Systems Production with an objective of minimizing failure rate and improving MTBF of the products. The design of the products will be continuously improved, keeping in pace with trends in the components and technology.

Defence is likely to induct Weapon Locating Radar and Akash Missile in large number during XI Five Year Plan. To meet the projected demand, the manufacturing/testing facilities of Phase Control Modules (PCM) etc. are need to be augmented to manufacture 30,000 to 40,000 Nos. PCM annually.
