Saatvik Green Energy Limited (SGEL) has successfully commissioned and operationalized a 2 GW in-house EPE (Protective Encapsulant) film manufacturing facility at its Ambala campus in Haryana. This facility, co-located within the company’s existing module manufacturing complex, marks a significant step towards deeper vertical integration and supply-chain self-reliance, aligning with India's 'Make in India' and 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' initiatives. This development positions SGEL among a select group of Indian manufacturers with captive encapsulant production capability, a crucial component for high-performance solar PV modules. The in-house production enhances control over product quality, operational efficiency, and long-term module reliability. Mr. Prashant Mathur, CEO of Saatvik Green Energy Limited, stated that this milestone is part of the company's roadmap for fully integrated solar manufacturing, supporting India's clean-energy transition. The EPE film's role in protecting solar cells, ensuring adhesion, electrical insulation, and durability is critical. Bringing this production in-house allows Saatvik direct oversight of material formulation and performance, ensuring consistent quality across its module portfolio, including M10 and G12 formats. The strategic co-location offers operational advantages such as near-zero transport time, just-in-time material supply, and lean manufacturing practices, improving shop-floor productivity and production flow. Furthermore, the in-house EPE facility contributes to cost optimization by eliminating external transportation, freight, insurance, and packaging costs, reducing material handling costs and waste. This enhances sustainability commitments and lowers module production costs. From a risk-management perspective, captive EPE production reduces dependence on imported materials and third-party suppliers, insulating operations from global supply disruptions and price volatility, ensuring steady material availability. The facility also boosts innovation and customization capabilities, enabling faster optimization of encapsulant chemistry and supporting advanced encapsulation solutions for high-efficiency modules. This flexibility allows Saatvik to tailor solutions for various market requirements, strengthening its competitive positioning. Saatvik Green Energy Limited operates a 4.8 GW module manufacturing facility in Ambala and is developing another integrated facility in Odisha.
