Jupiter International Limited, one of India’s leading solar cell manufacturers, has commissioned its third solar cell manufacturing unit, marking a major capacity expansion that effectively doubles its solar cell manufacturing capability in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh.

With this commissioning, the company adds 1 GW of mono PERC capacity to its existing 959 MW base, taking total installed capacity to nearly 2 GW. The new unit has been developed by Jupiter Solartech Private Limited (JSTPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Jupiter International Ltd.

Located in Village Katha, Baddi, District Solan, the facility focuses on high-efficiency mono PERC technology, aligned with global benchmarks in quality and productivity.

The expansion is expected to double Jupiter’s local workforce, creating a significant pipeline of skilled green jobs across advanced solar manufacturing operations.

As part of its long-term roadmap for vertical integration and technology leadership, Jupiter International is also setting up an additional 1.25 GW TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) solar cell line.

“The commissioning of Unit III at Baddi is a major milestone in our journey to scale the company’s solar manufacturing capabilities. This expansion reaffirms Jupiter’s commitment to our vision of delivering world-class clean energy technologies that are Made in India, for India and the world,” said Alok Garodia, Chairman and Managing Director, Jupiter International Ltd.

Jupiter’s integrated approach, combining manufacturing with R&D capabilities, continues to strengthen its position as a technology- and sustainability-driven solar manufacturer and a key enabler in India’s clean energy transition. The latest expansion further reinforces domestic capacity in line with India’s 500 GW renewable energy roadmap.
