Saatvik Green Commissions 2 GW In-House EPE Film Manufacturing Facility At Ambala

Haryana-based Saatvik Green Energy Limited (SGEL), an integrated renewable energy manufacturing company, commissioned and operationalized a 2 GW in-house EPE (Protective Encapsulant) film manufacturing facility. In a press release, Saatvik explained that the facility is co-located at the company’s Ambala campus in Haryana within its existing module manufacturing complex, supporting Saatvik’s journey toward deeper vertical integration and supply-chain self-reliance.

The company said that SGEL now joins a select group of Indian manufacturers with captive encapsulant production capability, a critical component in high-performance solar PV modules. The commissioning of the EPE film line strengthens the company’s control over product quality, operational efficiency, and long-term module reliability while supporting India’s Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat manufacturing ambitions.

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 has gained 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 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. 

About The Project

From a risk-management perspective, the latest facility strengthens supply chain resilience. Captive EPE production reduces dependence on imported materials and third-party suppliers, insulating operations from global supply disruptions, shortages, and pricing volatility. This ensures steady material availability and uninterrupted production, an increasingly critical advantage in a rapidly scaling solar market.

Beyond manufacturing stability, the EPE line enhances Saatvik’s innovation and customization capabilities. In-house R&D enables faster optimization of encapsulant chemistry and supports advanced encapsulation solutions for high-efficiency, bifacial, and large-format modules. This flexibility allows Saatvik to tailor solutions for utility-scale, commercial & industrial, and export market requirements, further strengthening its competitive positioning. 

Speaking on the development, Prashant Mathur, CEO, Saatvik Green Energy Limited, said: “The commissioning of the 2 GW EPE film facility marks an important step in Saatvik’s broader roadmap toward fully integrated solar manufacturing. By localizing critical components and deepening vertical integration, the company continues to build a robust domestic value chain that supports India’s clean-energy transition and long-term energy security.”

Speaking on the development, Prashant Mathur, CEO, Saatvik Green Energy Limited, added: “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.”
