AMPIN Energy Transition Private Limited and Jupiter International Limited have jointly inaugurated their solar manufacturing venture, AMPIN Solar One Private Limited, marking a significant step in strengthening India’s domestic solar manufacturing capabilities. The integrated solar cell and module facility, located in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, was inaugurated by Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi.
Integrated Facility to Boost Domestic Manufacturing
The new facility by Ampin and Jupiter is meant to be an integrated manufacturing unit, with both solar cell and module production happening on the same platform. The goal of the joint venture is to improve India’s domestic supply chain and make it less reliant on imports, especially in the early stages of solar manufacturing.
India is working hard to make solar panels more locally, and this news comes at a time when those efforts are speeding up thanks to policy initiatives like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme and the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) framework.
Strategic Collaboration for Energy Transition
Commenting on the development, Alok Garodia, Chairman and Managing Director of Jupiter International Limited, said the commissioning of the facility represents a strategic step towards building a robust domestic manufacturing backbone for India’s energy transition. He added that the platform combines scale, manufacturing depth, and a focus on quality execution to enable a reliable supply of high-performance solar cells and modules within the country. He also highlighted the company’s collaboration with AMPIN and the Government of Odisha in advancing India’s clean energy ambitions.
Supporting India’s Renewable Growth
The joint venture fits with India’s goals to install more solar panels and the need to strengthen domestic manufacturing because the country still relies on imported solar cells, especially from China. Facilities like AMPIN Solar One that are integrated are expected to be very important for making the sector more self-sufficient and making sure that the supply chain stays stable.
Odisha Emerging as Solar Manufacturing Hub
Odisha is becoming more and more known as a great place to make renewable energy because of its good policies, available land, and strong port connections. The opening of the AMPIN Solar One facility is likely to make the state an even more important part of India’s solar ecosystem and help create jobs and grow the economy.
Waaree Energies, Inox Solar, Saatvik Solar, and Icon Solar are just a few of the companies that have chosen Odisha as the location for their solar manufacturing operations. This shows that the state is becoming more and more important as a place for clean energy investments.
