SAEL to Invest ₹8,200 Crore in New Solar Plant to Power Uttar Pradesh’s Green Growth
Lucknow | 14, July 2025 : SAEL Industries Limited will build a huge solar factory in Greater Noida. This new plant will cost around ₹8,200 crore. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath gave the project a green signal by handing over a Letter of Comfort (LoC) to the company.
What Will Be Made Here?
SAEL’s new plant will have two main units:
- A 5 GW solar cell unit
- A 5 GW solar module unit
This means the plant will make solar cells and then use them to build full solar panels. After this project, SAEL’s total solar making power will reach 8.5 GW.
Why Uttar Pradesh?
Greater Noida is a smart choice for this factory. The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) will handle the land and support. The area has good roads and other help for big factories.
Yogi Adityanath’s Support
The Chief Minister said that Uttar Pradesh is moving fast on clean energy. He said the state wants to be a leader in solar power. Big projects like SAEL’s will help reach this goal.
Where Else Does SAEL Work?
SAEL already has plants in Rajasthan and Punjab. The company also runs many solar farms. It wants to grow fast and add battery storage and other clean tech.
Jobs and Local Growth
The new factory will create thousands of jobs. People in Greater Noida and nearby places will get work in building and running the plant.
India’s Solar Goal
India wants to make more solar panels at home. This helps cut imports and saves money. Big local plants also help India meet its target of 500 GW green power by 2030.
When Will It Start?
The work will start soon this year. The factory should be ready between 2025 and 2026. SAEL is also building other clean energy projects in Andhra Pradesh. It got over ₹1,000 crore from global banks for this.
Final Word
SAEL’s project is a big step for India’s clean energy dream. It will help the country make its own solar panels. It will also give jobs and growth to Uttar Pradesh. With support from the state and investors, SAEL is ready to lead India’s solar future.
