Shree Cement Tops Sector with 60% Green Power Usage

Shree Cement continues to set new industry benchmarks in sustainable manufacturing with over 60 per cent of its total electricity consumption now met through green power. The company’s renewable energy capacity has grown to 582 MW, cementing its position as a front-runner in low-carbon cement production. The recent commissioning of a 60.3 MW solar plant in Jodhpur adds significant momentum to its green transition.

With a sharp strategic focus on climate-resilient operations, Shree Cement is aggressively investing in renewable infrastructure, making sustainability a central pillar of its growth strategy. This commitment has been consistently demonstrated through large-scale deployment of solar energy, wind power and waste heat recovery systems across its manufacturing units.

Commenting on the milestone on World Environment Day, MM Rathi, Joint President - Power Management, Shree Cement said, “We are building a future-ready enterprise rooted in sustainability, innovation and performance. Our transition to green power is not just a business imperative it is a long-term commitment to a cleaner, more responsible future. Through this journey, we aim to set new benchmarks for the entire cement industry.”

The company has integrated green energy solutions into every aspect of its value chain from sourcing and production to packaging and logistics. The aim is not only to reduce carbon footprint but also to ensure long-term energy security and operational resilience. This transition is further supported by data-driven energy management systems that improves efficiency and reduce dependency on fossil fuels.

The company’s sustainability efforts have earned it prestigious recognition including a CareEdge ESG 1 rating and the title of “Industry Mover” in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2025, reflecting its leadership in ESG performance.
