What's Happening?
Saatvik Green Energy has commissioned a 2 GW in-house EPE film manufacturing facility at its Ambala campus in Haryana, India. This development marks a significant step in the company's roadmap towards
fully integrated solar manufacturing. By localizing critical components and deepening vertical integration, Saatvik aims to build a robust domestic value chain that supports India's clean-energy transition and long-term energy security. The new facility enhances the company's control over product quality, operational efficiency, and long-term module reliability. It also supports India's 'Make in India' and 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' manufacturing ambitions by joining a select group of Indian manufacturers with captive encapsulant production capability.
Why It's Important?
The commissioning of the EPE film facility is crucial for Saatvik Green Energy as it strengthens the company's supply-chain self-reliance in solar module manufacturing. By integrating encapsulant production within the same manufacturing premises, the company achieves significant operational advantages, such as near-zero transport time between encapsulant production and module lamination. This integration supports lean manufacturing practices, improves shop-floor productivity, and enhances equipment uptime. The facility's strategic location and operational efficiency contribute to India's clean-energy transition and energy security, aligning with national manufacturing initiatives.
What's Next?
With the new facility operational, Saatvik Green Energy is expected to focus on optimizing its production processes and exploring further opportunities for vertical integration. The company may also look to expand its market presence by leveraging its enhanced manufacturing capabilities. As India continues to prioritize clean energy and self-reliance, Saatvik's advancements in solar manufacturing could play a pivotal role in the country's energy landscape.
