In a significant leap forward for India’s renewable energy landscape, Saatvik Solar Industries Private Limited (SSIPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Saatvik Green Energy Limited (SGEL), commenced construction of a state-of-the-art 4.80 GW solar cell and 4 GW solar module manufacturing facility in Odisha. The groundbreaking ceremony took place today at the project site, situated within Tata Steel Special Economic Zone Limited (TSSEZL) at Gopalpur Industrial Park, Ganjam district.
Spanning 57 acres of prime industrial land sub-leased from TSSEZL along National Highway-16 in Chama Khandi, the facility forms a crucial part of SGEL’s aggressive expansion strategy aimed at reinforcing its leadership position in India’s solar manufacturing space.
“This integrated facility in Odisha is a strategic step towards strengthening our capacity and market position in solar energy manufacturing and EPC solutions,” said Prashant Mathur, CEO of SGEL. “We are fully committed to scaling up production, integrating advanced technologies, and delivering high-quality solar modules that cater to both domestic and international demand.”
The Odisha project will house a 4.80 GW solar cell manufacturing unit scheduled for commissioning by the end of Fiscal 2027 and a 4 GW module manufacturing line, expected to be operational by Fiscal 2026. Once completed, this facility will be one of the largest integrated solar manufacturing hubs in the country.
Mathur highlighted that this is part of a broader expansion initiative. In parallel, SSIPL is adding 1 GW module manufacturing capacity at its Ambala facility in Haryana, which is expected to go live by the first quarter of Fiscal 2026. With this addition, SGEL’s total solar module manufacturing capacity will rise to 8.80 GW, encompassing both Ambala and the upcoming Odisha facilities.
This development aligns closely with India’s ambitious renewable energy goals and the government’s vision to boost domestic solar manufacturing under schemes like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) program. By investing in large-scale infrastructure and advanced technology, SGEL aims to not only reduce import dependence but also create a robust ecosystem for solar component manufacturing in India.
“This is more than just an expansion. It’s a step toward energy independence, job creation, and sustainable development,” Mathur emphasized. “Our investments reflect our long-term commitment to the clean energy future of India and our goal to be a globally competitive solar manufacturer.”
The project is also expected to significantly contribute to regional economic development, generating hundreds of direct and indirect employment opportunities. The choice of Gopalpur, a fast-emerging industrial destination in eastern India, underscores SGEL’s strategic approach to tapping underutilized yet resource-rich regions for industrial growth.
With the first module line set to go live by FY26 and full integration planned by FY27, Saatvik Solar’s Odisha facility is set to become a flagship for India’s solar manufacturing renaissance, cementing the company’s place at the forefront of the country’s clean energy transformation.
