SAEL Industries Ltd has started construction of its integrated solar manufacturing facility in Jewar, Uttar Pradesh, India. The project is being developed through its wholly owned subsidiary, SAEL Solar P6 Pvt Ltd (SSP6PL).

The foundation stone-laying ceremony was held in the presence of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

Spanning 200 acres (around 80,000 mw) in Sector 8 of the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) in Gautam Buddha Nagar, the facility is being developed as an integrated 5 GW solar cell and 5 GW solar module manufacturing unit. Upon completion, the facility will manufacture TOPCon solar cells and modules.

“This is not merely an investment in infrastructure; it is India’s investment in its own energy self-reliance. Today, Uttar Pradesh is one of India’s fastest-growing states, marching confidently towards its $1 trillion economy goal, and we are proud to be part of that journey. We are deeply grateful to the Government of Uttar Pradesh, YEIDA, and all stakeholders for making this vision a reality,” said Sukhbir Singh, co-founder and director of SAEL Industries Ltd.

“The Jewar project reflects SAEL’s confidence in India’s renewable energy future and in Uttar Pradesh’s emergence as a premier manufacturing destination. As demand for domestically manufactured solar products continues to grow, this facility will strengthen the resilience of India’s solar supply chain while creating significant economic value for the region,” added the company’s CEO, Laxit Awla.

This facility is expected to create 5,000 direct and 15,000 indirect jobs and contribute significantly to regional economic development through industrial activity, ancillary industries, and infrastructure growth.
