Octillion has announced the successful conversion of one of its three Indian battery system manufacturing factories to facility-wide solar energy, establishing a site that now operates entirely on carbon-free power.
This achievement anchors a larger initiative to make all the company’s India-based facilities carbon neutral via solar power generation by 2027.
Global President of Octillion, Paul Beach, commented on the commitment: “India’s electric vehicle market is accelerating rapidly, and we’re committed to ensuring this growth is truly sustainable.
“By converting our manufacturing to solar power, we’re closing the loop – producing the clean energy storage solutions of tomorrow, using clean energy today. This is just the beginning of our journey toward our goal of carbon-neutral operations across all our India facilities by 2027.”
The Pune facility, which spans approximately 8,200 square meters, generates 3GWh of total annual battery capacity.
Its new rooftop solar installation is set to provide approximately 545MWh of dedicated clean energy annually, fully covering the factory’s entire power requirements. The conversion began in June 2024 and achieved full operational status by July 2025.
Nikhil Parchure, Senior Vice President at Octillion, noted the company’s role: “Accelerating cleaner, more efficient transportation in India is central to our mission as a global battery company.
“With three large-scale battery manufacturing facilities in India… Octillion is uniquely positioned to serve the fast-growing needs of India’s electric vehicle sector… We will continue to advance our efforts in India and globally by providing cutting-edge, safe battery systems, working to leave the least environmental impact possible in the transportation sector.”
