SAEL Industries Ltd will invest around INR 8,200 crore to establish a 5 GW integrated solar cell and module manufacturing facility in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The facility will produce TOPCon (tunnel oxide passivated contact) solar cells. Once operational, it will take SAEL’s total solar manufacturing capacity to 8.5 GW.
The investment will be made through SAEL’s subsidiary, SAEL Solar P6. Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath gave the Letter of Comfort to Sukhbir Singh Awla, co-founder and director of SAEL Industries Ltd.
Speaking at the event, chief minister Yogi Adityanath said, “Uttar Pradesh is charting a bold and aggressive path towards renewable energy, setting an ambitious target of generating green energy. Projects like the one undertaken by SAEL’s INR 8,000 crore are vital to achieving this. This is the future, and Uttar Pradesh is ready to lead.”
Sukhbir Singh Awla, co-founder & director, SAEL Industries said, “This facility will be a major leap for scaling our manufacturing capabilities and reinforcing our contribution to the future of solar manufacturing in India. Setting up this integrated facility in Uttar Pradesh allows us to bring technology and manufacturing close to home while contributing actively to India’s clean energy transition. It aligns with the state’s solar policy and national missions like Viksit Bharat @2047 and Atmanirbhar Bharat and enables us to contribute towards strengthening the domestic supply chain, reducing reliance on solar equipment imports.”
