Jupiter International Limited (“JUPITER”), a leading solar cell manufacturer in India, has secured INR 500 crore in growth capital from ValueQuest SCALE Fund and its affiliates.
This strategic investment will fuel JUPITER’s expansion plans, allowing the company to increase its solar cell manufacturing capacity to 6.4 GW and enter the solar module segment with a targeted capacity of 2.4 GW.
AUM Capital served as the exclusive financial advisor to JUPITER for the transaction.
