Octillion Power Systems has brought its battery manufacturing facility in Pune fully onto solar power, marking a step forward in the company’s efforts to reduce the environmental impact of battery production in India.
The company said a rooftop solar system has been commissioned at its Pune plant to provide renewable electricity for day-to-day operations. The system is designed to generate approximately 545 megawatt-hours of electricity annually, supplying power to a facility that has an annual battery manufacturing capacity of 3 gigawatt-hours.
Octillion confirmed that the installation enables the Pune factory to operate on solar energy during normal operations, reducing reliance on conventional grid electricity and lowering the carbon footprint associated with battery production. The facility manufactures lithium-ion battery systems for electric vehicles as well as energy-storage applications, placing it at the centre of India’s growing clean-energy supply chain.
The Pune factory is one of Octillion’s major manufacturing locations in the country and supports customers across the electric-mobility and power-storage sectors. The company said rising demand from EV manufacturers and energy-storage developers has led to a gradual expansion of its manufacturing capacity in India, making energy efficiency and sustainability increasingly important for plant operations.
Octillion stated that the decision to transition the Pune facility to renewable power is part of a broader plan to implement clean-energy solutions across its operations in India. The company added that initiatives such as solar-powered manufacturing are aligned with its sustainability commitments and long-term environmental targets.
The company also noted that renewable-powered manufacturing is becoming increasingly relevant for industrial operations as energy-intensive manufacturing activities expand across India. With battery manufacturing playing a central role in the electric-vehicle ecosystem, energy sourcing has emerged as a key factor for companies seeking to reduce indirect emissions linked to production activities.
Octillion indicated that further clean-energy initiatives may be introduced at other facilities as part of its plan to increase the use of renewable power across its manufacturing footprint. The move comes amid a broader industry trend toward using solar and other renewable sources to support large-scale industrial operations.
