Jupiter International Ltd, a leading PV cells manufacturer and solar power solutions provider, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Maharashtra to set up a vertically integrated solar manufacturing facility in Butibori, Nagpur.

The expected investment for this project is around INR 10,900 crore. The facility will span the complete value chain — including solar wafer manufacturing, new technology solar cell production, and solar module manufacturing — making it a comprehensive solar infrastructure project.

This project is expected to generate over 8,300 employment opportunities.
