Octillion initiates solar-enabled operations at its Pune battery facility

Octillion has completed the conversion of one of its battery system manufacturing factories in India to operate on solar energy. This site is the first among the company’s facilities to run entirely on solar power, and it supports Octillion’s plan to make all of its India-based factories carbon neutral through solar energy by 2027.

The factory spans about 8,200 square meters and produces 3 GWh of battery capacity each year. Its rooftop solar system now supplies roughly 545 MWh annually, covering all of the facility’s power needs. The Pune site was inaugurated in June 2023, began its solar conversion in June 2024, and reached full solar operation in July 2025.

Paul Beach, Global President of Octillion, commented: “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.”

Nikhil Parchure, Senior Vice President at Octillion, said: “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, two in Pune and one in Gujarat, Octillion is uniquely positioned to serve the fast-growing needs of India’s electric vehicle sector; in volume, cost, and convenience. Over the last decade, we have created a robust national supply chain that India’s automotive sector can rely on. 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.”
