Jupiter International and AMPIN Launch 1.3 GW Solar Manufacturing Facility in India

Jupiter International and AMPIN Energy Transition have officially launched a 1.3 GW solar cell and module manufacturing facility in Bhubaneswar, India, marking a significant milestone in the country’s efforts to strengthen its domestic solar manufacturing ecosystem.

The facility, developed through their joint venture AMPIN Solar One, is designed as an integrated manufacturing unit capable of producing both solar cells and modules. With an annual capacity of 1.3 GW, the plant is expected to support India’s rapidly expanding renewable energy deployment while improving supply chain efficiency and reliability.

The project has been established under the Indian government’s Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, which aims to boost domestic manufacturing capabilities, reduce reliance on imported components, and enhance overall supply chain resilience in the solar sector.

Production from the facility will primarily support AMPIN’s internal renewable energy project pipeline, while also supplying modules to third-party developers. This dual-market approach is expected to strengthen domestic project execution while meeting broader market demand.

The launch reflects a broader industry trend toward vertical integration and localisation, as developers increasingly seek control over manufacturing, procurement, and project cost structures.

It also aligns with India’s ambition to emerge as a global hub for solar manufacturing, reinforcing long-term energy security and accelerating the transition toward clean energy.

As the country continues to scale up its renewable energy capacity, investments in integrated manufacturing infrastructure such as this are expected to play a critical role in ensuring cost-effective deployment, supply stability, and sustainable sector growth.
