V1^a
V1^b
V1^a
V2^b
V2^c
V1^a
V1^b

awk -F^ '{n = split( $2,a,",")
for ( x = 1; x <= n; ++x ) printf "%s^%s\n", $1, a[x]
}' FILENAME

Another approach:

awk 'BEGIN{ FS="[,^]" } { for(i=2;i<=NF;i++) print $1"^"$i }' file

Regards

nawk -F"^" '{
	num=split($2,arr,",")
	for(i=1;i<=num;i++)
		print $1"^"arr
}' filename
