The facility, co-located within the company's existing module manufacturing complex, represents a significant milestone in Saatvik's journey toward deeper vertical integration and supply-chain self-reliance, the company said in a statement.
It further added that with this, 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, it said.
Speaking on the development, Prashant Mathur, CEO, Saatvik Green Energy, 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 localising 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.”
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 company stated.
Mathur 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.”
SGEL further asserted that the in-house EPE facility also delivers meaningful cost optimisation. 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, it said.
From a risk-management perspective, the facility significantly 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, the company asserted.
Beyond manufacturing stability, the EPE line enhances Saatvik’s innovation and customisation capabilities. In-house R&D enables faster optimisation 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 and industrial (C&I), and export market requirements, further strengthening its competitive positioning, claimed the company.
