GREATER NOIDA, UTTAR PRADESH – The RP Sanjiv Goenka Group is making a decisive entry into India’s renewable energy manufacturing sector with a massive ₹3,000 crore investment to establish a large-scale solar cell manufacturing hub in Uttar Pradesh. The project which includes a 3 GW solar cell manufacturing facility and a 60 MW captive solar power plant with an energy storage system signals a major vote of confidence in the state’s evolving industrial ecosystem.
The group has already secured 100 acres of land in Sector-8D under the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA), positioning itself in a region fast becoming a nexus for advanced technology manufacturing.
Focus on Next-Generation Solar Technology
The RP Sanjiv Goenka Group 3 GW solar cell plant Uttar Pradesh TOPCon facility is designed for technological leadership. Unlike conventional solar manufacturing, the hub will focus on producing advanced high-efficiency photovoltaic technologies:
- TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact): A next-generation solar cell technology that offers higher efficiency and better performance in high temperatures compared to standard cells making it a future-proof investment.
- Tandem Perovskite Solar Cells: An emerging cutting-edge technology that layers perovskite over silicon to capture a broader spectrum of light, potentially revolutionizing solar efficiency rates.
This focus on advanced R&D and manufacturing positions the group at the forefront of the global solar innovation curve.
A Self-Sustaining Green Manufacturing Model
A distinctive feature of this project is the integration of a 60 MW captive solar power plant coupled with an energy storage system. This ensures that a significant portion of the manufacturing facility’s energy needs are met by its own clean, reliable, and cost-effective solar power, embodying a truly sustainable manufacturing model from the ground up.
Uttar Pradesh: The Emerging Solar Manufacturing Capital
This investment is part of a larger wave of solar manufacturing projects flocking to Uttar Pradesh, particularly along the Yamuna Expressway industrial corridor:
- IB Solar: Recently secured land from YEIDA for a 4 GW TOPCon solar cell and module facility.
- SAEL Industries: Planning a 5 GW integrated solar cell and module manufacturing plant in Greater Noida.
The RP Sanjiv Goenka Group 3 GW solar cell plant Uttar Pradesh TOPCon hub cements the state’s strategic push to become a dominant player in India’s renewable energy supply chain. This cluster of investments creates a powerful manufacturing ecosystem, attracting suppliers, skilled labor, and further large-scale investments to the region.
By investing in advanced technology and sustainable practices, the RP Sanjiv Goenka Group is not just building a factory; it is helping to establish a new, high-value industrial identity for Uttar Pradesh, directly supporting India’s goals of energy security, technological self-reliance, and a transition to a green economy.
