Saatvik Solar Industries Private Limited, a material subsidiary of Saatvik Green Energy Limited, is advancing its 2.4 GW solar cell manufacturing facility in Odisha towards enlistment under ALMM List-II. The development marks an important step in the company’s plans to scale up high-efficiency, advanced solar cell manufacturing and strengthen India’s domestic solar PV value chain.

Located in Ganjam, Odisha, the facility has an applied manufacturing capacity of 2,400 MW and is being developed to manufacture Saatvik’s portfolio of high-efficiency, high-wattage solar cells using the latest N-TOPCon technology. The facility’s ALMM List-II submission covers Monocrystalline Bifacial N-TOPCon G12R solar cell technology under the Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) category, with Model No. SS-NTP-210R-16BB-BF.

The development will enable Saatvik to expand its manufacturing capabilities further upstream in the solar PV value chain as India continues to build domestic capacity in advanced solar technologies. Subject to approval and enlistment by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), the facility will be eligible for deployment in projects requiring compliance with applicable domestic sourcing requirements.

Prashant Mathur, CEO, Saatvik Green Energy, said, “The advancement of our Odisha cell manufacturing facility towards ALMM List-II enlistment is an important milestone in our ambition to build advanced and competitive solar manufacturing capabilities in India. With a planned capacity of 2.4 GW and a focus on high-efficiency N-TOPCon technology, the facility will strengthen our ability to offer domestically manufactured solar cells while supporting the industry's broader localisation journey. We remain focused on investing in technology, scale and manufacturing capabilities that can contribute to India's long-term renewable energy ambitions.”

The Odisha facility forms part of Saatvik’s broader manufacturing expansion strategy, with the company increasing its focus on high-efficiency cell and module technologies to address the evolving requirements of India’s rapidly growing solar market. The facility will manufacture N-TOPCon G12R cells, a technology designed to deliver higher conversion efficiency and enhanced power output, supporting the industry’s continued shift towards higher-performing PV products. The development also strengthens Saatvik’s manufacturing presence in Odisha and is expected to create opportunities across the regional industrial and supplier ecosystem.

Saatvik Green Energy has been expanding its presence across the renewable energy value chain, with capabilities spanning utility-scale solar power generation, solar PV module manufacturing and energy storage solutions. The company currently has 4.86 GW of module manufacturing capacity and is pursuing further expansion across solar cells and modules as part of its long-term manufacturing roadmap.

The company’s focus on domestic cell manufacturing comes as India accelerates efforts to develop a resilient and self-reliant solar manufacturing ecosystem. The combination of domestic manufacturing capacity, advanced cell technology and DCR-compliant production is expected to play an increasingly important role in meeting the country’s growing renewable energy requirements while strengthening supply-chain resilience.

With the Odisha facility, Saatvik aims to deepen its manufacturing capabilities and contribute to the development of a technology-led, locally anchored and globally competitive solar manufacturing ecosystem in India.
