Saatvik Solar Industries Pvt. Ltd. has entered into an MoU with the Industrial Promotion and Investment Corporation of Odisha Limited (IPICOL) to establish a 3.6 GW solar cell manufacturing facility at Gopalpur in Odisha’s Ganjam district.
The proposed facility marks an important step in Saatvik Solar’s plans to further expand its
manufacturing capabilities in Odisha and contribute to the development of the state’s renewable
energy manufacturing ecosystem. The project is also expected to create employment opportunities
and support the development of the wider industrial ecosystem in the region.
The new facility will form part of Saatvik Solar’s broader manufacturing development at Gopalpur,
where the company is already progressing with its Phase I integrated manufacturing facility. Phase I
has achieved key construction and installation milestones and is now advancing towards
commissioning. Tool installation is progressing well, with ramp-up set to commence shortly marking a
significant step towards operational readiness.
Gopalpur Manufacturing Development Progresses Towards Commissioning
Saatvik Solar’s Phase I manufacturing facility at Gopalpur has made substantial progress, with major
construction and infrastructure works completed and equipment installation and testing activities
advancing across the facility.
The company has also completed key power infrastructure milestones, with the dedicated 220 kV
substation ready for charging. Manufacturing lines are progressing through the final stages of
installation, testing, validation and process readiness, with the company moving towards the next
stage of operations.
The cell line is on track for ramp-up shortly, marking a key step towards operational readiness, with
the ALMM-II inspection planned for September—bringing the facility closer to full-scale
commercialisation.
Commenting on the milestone, Prashant Mathur, CEO, Saatvik Green Energy Limited said,
“Odisha is more than a manufacturing milestone for Saatvik; it is a statement of our ambition. As our
2.4 GW cell and 4 GW module manufacturing lines move towards production, we are taking a decisive
step towards building scale, strengthening integration and creating the foundation for our next phase
of robust growth. India’s clean energy opportunity is enormous, and we intend to play a defining role
in it. Our ambition is to build manufacturing capabilities that are globally competitive, technologically
advanced and deeply aligned with India’s journey towards energy security and self-reliance. Building
on the momentum of Phase I, we are advancing plans for a further 3.6 GW Phase II expansion at
Gopalpur, which will significantly scale our integrated manufacturing footprint and strengthen our
ability to meet the growing demand for domestically manufactured solar products. With Phase II
targeted for commercial production by FY28, we are preparing for the next leap in scale. The future we
see is one where India is not only a major consumer of clean energy, but a global manufacturing
powerhouse for it. Saatvik is determined to help build that future by investing in capacity, technology
and excellence today and creating a stronger, more resilient and more sustainable energy ecosystem
for tomorrow.”
Alongside the progress of Phase I, Saatvik Solar is advancing plans for the next phase of development
at Gopalpur, which will further scale its integrated manufacturing capabilities. The Phase II 3.6 GW cell
capacity expansion is being planned to support the growing demand for domestically manufactured
solar products and deepen the company’s presence across the solar value chain.
The company’s phased development at Gopalpur reflects its long-term approach towards building an
integrated and technologically advanced solar manufacturing ecosystem, with a focus on scale,
operational excellence, quality and supply chain resilience.
Saatvik Green Energy Limited is one of India’s leading solar photovoltaic module manufacturers, with a strong
presence across utility-scale, commercial & industrial, EPC, and distributed solar segments. The Company
currently operates a 4.8 GW module manufacturing facility in Ambala, Haryana, and is developing a Greenfield
integrated manufacturing facility in Odisha with 4 GW of module capacity and 6 GW of solar cell capacity. With
a focus on technology, quality, and execution, Saatvik aims to play a meaningful role in India’s renewable energy transition.
