Saatvik Green Energy has commissioned and operationalized a 2 GW in-house EPE (Protective Encapsulant) film manufacturing facility at its Ambala campus in Haryana. The company also announced that its arm, Saatvik Solar Industries, has received and accepted a solar PV module supply order aggregating to ₹486 crore from a renowned private-sector power producer and EPC player.
The order, awarded by a domestic entity, is scheduled for execution by December 2026.
Strengthening vertical integration
EPE is a multilayer film combining ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and polyolefin elastomer (POE) for PV encapsulation. Saatvik’s newly commissioned EPE facility, co-located within Saatvik’s existing module manufacturing complex, marks a significant milestone in the company’s journey toward deeper vertical integration and supply-chain self-reliance. With this development, Saatvik joins a select group of Indian manufacturers with captive encapsulant production capability—an essential component in high-performance solar PV modules.
Encapsulant films play a central role in solar modules by protecting solar cells, ensuring strong adhesion between layers, maintaining electrical insulation, and enabling long-term durability under varied operating conditions. By bringing EPE film production in-house, Saatvik gains direct oversight of material formulation, optical properties, and lamination performance, ensuring consistent quality across its entire module portfolio, including M10 and G12 high-wattage module formats.
“The strategic location of the EPE line within the same manufacturing premises delivers significant operational advantages. Near-zero transport time between encapsulant production and module lamination enables just-in-time material supply, eliminates inter-facility logistics delays, and supports lean manufacturing practices. This integration improves shop-floor productivity, enhances equipment uptime, and ensures seamless production flow across the module assembly process,” stated Prashant Mathur, CEO, Saatvik Green Energy.
“The in-house EPE facility also delivers meaningful cost optimization. By eliminating external transportation, freight, insurance, and heavy-duty packaging requirements associated with long-distance procurement, Saatvik reduces overall material handling costs and waste generation. These efficiencies contribute directly to lower module production costs while reinforcing the company’s sustainability commitments.”
Saatvik Green Energy operates a 4.8 GW module manufacturing facility in Ambala, Haryana. It is also developing a greenfield integrated facility in Odisha with 4 GW module and 4.8 GW solar cell manufacturing capacity . The company also offers EPC services for utility-scale, commercial, and industrial projects.
