As part of this collaboration, CleanMax will develop a 125.4 MW hybrid project, featuring 66 MW of solar capacity in Rajasthan and 59.4 MW of wind capacity in Karnataka.

Giorgio Fortunato, Head of Clean Energy & Power for Asia Pacific at Google, added, “We believe that strategic partnerships like this are essential to driving real impact and advancing resilient low-carbon systems to ensure our operations remain sustainable.”
