Saatvik Solar Industries Private Limited, a material subsidiary of Saatvik Green Energy Limited, is progressing its 2.4 GW solar cell manufacturing facility in Ganjam, Odisha, towards enlistment under the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) List-II. The development is part of Saatvik’s plans to expand high-efficiency solar cell manufacturing using advanced technology and strengthen India’s domestic solar photovoltaic (PV) value chain.
The facility has an applied manufacturing capacity of 2,400 MW and is being developed to manufacture Saatvik’s own portfolio of high-efficiency, high-wattage solar cells using the latest N-TOPCon technology. Its 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.
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. The development would enable Saatvik to expand its manufacturing capabilities further upstream in the solar PV value chain as India builds domestic capacity in advanced solar technologies.
Technology focus
The Odisha facility will manufacture N-TOPCon G12R cells, a technology designed to deliver higher conversion efficiency and enhanced power output. The focus on the technology comes as the solar industry continues to move towards higher-performing photovoltaic products and as demand grows for advanced cell and module technologies in India.
Commenting on the development, Mr 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, under which the company is increasing its focus on high-efficiency cell and module technologies to address the evolving requirements of India’s rapidly growing solar market.
Manufacturing expansion
The facility also strengthens Saatvik’s manufacturing presence in Odisha and is expected to create opportunities across the regional industrial and supplier ecosystem. The company 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.
Saatvik Green Energy 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. Domestic manufacturing capacity, advanced cell technology and DCR-compliant production are 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.
