11 Nov 2025 CW Team

The initiative marks a significant step in the company’s long-term sustainability and cost-efficiency strategy, aimed at reducing power costs, lowering carbon emissions, and strengthening energy security across its manufacturing operations.

Key Project Highlights:

Capacity: 7 MWp Captive Solar Power Plant
Location: Gujarat
EPC Partner: Prozeal Green Energy
Commissioning Target: Q1 FY27
Technology: Mono Bifacial N-Type TOPCon Modules with Single Axis Tracker System
Impact: Offset 50–55 per cent of grid power usage; cut power costs by up to 50 per cent
Benefits: Enhanced ESG performance, reduced embedded carbon emissions, long-term cost stability, and clean energy adoption

The solar project will help the company significantly reduce grid dependency while improving profitability through lower energy costs. With advanced bifacial TOPCon modules and a single-axis tracking system, the plant will maximize energy generation throughout the day—even in low-light conditions—ensuring consistent, efficient, and reliable output.

Commenting on the initiative, Karan Agrawal, Whole Time Director, said, “This solar project reflects our commitment to responsible growth and environmental stewardship. Partnering with Prozeal Green Energy ensures high-quality execution aligned with our sustainability vision. Replacing up to 55 per cent of our grid power with renewable energy will generate nearly 50 per cent cost savings while substantially reducing our carbon footprint. This strengthens our profitability and our pledge to operate responsibly.

The advanced Mono Bifacial N-Type TOPCon modules and Single Axis Tracker system will maximize energy generation and long-term value. As energy is central to our operations, this initiative enhances our energy security, cost control, and operational flexibility, while supporting India’s renewable energy goals. We remain committed to integrating clean technologies and expanding our use of renewable energy to drive efficient, innovative, and sustainable growth.”
