Solar Manufacturing In UP Gets A Fillip, Alpex Solar Set To Become Second Cell Maker From State Photograph: (AI)
Alpex Solar Ltd has now announced the inauguration of its 2.2 GW G12R TOPCon solar cell manufacturing facility in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, marking the company’s entry into solar cell production and making it the second solar cell manufacturer in the state after Fujiyama Power Systems.
The facility, located in the company’s existing industrial premises at Kosi Kotwan, Extension-2 in Mathura, will be inaugurated by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Union New and Renewable Energy Minister Pralhad Joshi. The company said this is the first TOPCon giga integrated manufacturing line in Uttar Pradesh.
Alpex had earlier announced a solar manufacturing plant in Mathura, but the commissioning was delayed from its initial timeline. With the inauguration of the 2.2 GW cell line, the company now moves beyond module assembly into upstream manufacturing.
The development comes at a time when Uttar Pradesh is rapidly emerging as a key solar manufacturing hub in India. According to the latest Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM-I) for solar modules by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), there are now 13 operational solar module manufacturers in the state.
Most of these units are concentrated in Greater Noida and Dadri in Gautam Buddha Nagar district, with additional factories in Ghaziabad, Mirzapur and Barabanki. The state has attracted a mix of large investments from established players as well as mid-sized manufacturers, supported by its proximity to the National Capital Region and improving industrial infrastructure.
On the solar cell side, Fujiyama Power Systems is currently the only other UP-based manufacturer, with 437 MW of enlisted solar cell capacity in the ALMM-II list of MNRE. With Alpex’s 2.2 GW unit now inaugurated, Uttar Pradesh will have a total of around 2.6 GW of operational solar cell manufacturing capacity. Alpex Solar said it plans to further expand its domestic manufacturing footprint, with a 2.5 GW solar wafer and ingot plant targeted for commissioning by June 2028.
Uttar Pradesh, has now emerged as a new hotbed for investments in the solar sector. This comes after states like Gujarat remained a dominant region for solar module manufacturig units, but now the landscape seems to be changing. While the state already has around 13 solar module makers and several other companies have planned to start solar cell units from the state, the eastern India state now heading towards becoming one of the key rising state for solar manufacturing. This is in addition other such rising states like Odisha, Madhya Pradesh and others.
