UP Chief Minister Lays Foundation For SAEL Solar Manufacturing Plant

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath laid the foundation stone for SAEL's Rs 82 bn solar cell and module manufacturing project at Jewar. The facility will occupy about 200 acres in Sector eight of the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority, Gautam Buddha Nagar, and is being developed as an integrated 10 gigawatt (GW) ecosystem with five GW solar cell and five GW solar module manufacturing units. SAEL said the project aims to bolster domestic production of cells and modules.

SAEL indicated the 10 GW ecosystem will strengthen the resilience of India's solar supply chain amid growing demand for domestically manufactured products. The company expected the project to create around 20,000 direct and indirect jobs and to spur ancillary industrial activity in the region. Once operational, the plant will produce TOPCon and other high-efficiency modules using advanced manufacturing processes.

Adityanath set a target for the state to generate 20 GW of renewable energy over the next two to three years and presented Jewar as a future solar manufacturing hub. He said the PM Surya Ghar Yojana has reduced electricity bills for 600,000 families by up to 60 per cent and noted that the state has laid the foundation for an electronics unit by Amber Group and Korea Circuits. He said plans for a Film City, an Apparel City, world-class universities and a Toy Park will accompany broader logistics development.

SAEL's co-founder and director Sukhbir Singh signalled plans to increase the company's investment in the state to Rs 200 bn by 2029-30. The chief minister highlighted that Uttar Pradesh now contributes nearly 55 per cent of the country's ethanol production and said the state intends to establish 100 compressed biogas plants over the next year. The inauguration was attended by state finance minister Suresh Kumar Khanna, industrial development minister Nand Gopal Gupta and other officials.
