Mangalam Worldwide Commissions 10.4 MW Captive Solar Plant

Mangalam Worldwide has commissioned a 10.4 megawatt (MW) captive solar plant in Gujarat. The facility will supply renewable electricity to the company's cement manufacturing operations in the western Indian state and reduce reliance on the regional grid, supporting production rhythms. The project forms part of the firm's broader energy strategy to integrate on-site generation with operational needs and to stabilise power costs over time. Company engineers coordinated the installation with site operations to align generation profiles with process loads and to minimise disruption during commissioning.

The solar installation employs photovoltaic modules and string inverters configured for captive consumption, alongside monitoring systems that provide real-time performance data and fault diagnostics. The plant is designed for steady daytime generation to match heavy process loads and to lower demand charges during peak tariff periods, thereby improving energy economics. Energy generation is routed directly to the captive load centre and interfaces with existing switchgear and protection systems to ensure safe operation. Routine maintenance protocols and remote monitoring arrangements are in place to support availability and to extend asset life.

The deployment will deliver operational savings by displacing grid-supplied electricity and to enhance energy security at the manufacturing site, reducing exposure to peak price volatility. The company anticipates improvements in its environmental performance through lower greenhouse gas emissions associated with thermal generation, contributing to broader corporate sustainability targets. The project adds decentralised renewable capacity to the regional energy mix and demonstrates practical application of captive generation for industrial consumers. Stakeholders in the supply chain and local operations were engaged during project delivery to align logistics and commissioning schedules.

Mangalam Worldwide plans to leverage lessons from the Gujarat installation to identify additional captive opportunities across its asset portfolio and refine practices. The firm intends to integrate further renewable sources alongside energy efficiency measures and demand management to strengthen long-term sustainability outcomes. The commissioning underscores growing corporate momentum for on-site clean energy adoption in India and complements national targets for renewable deployment. Ongoing performance monitoring will inform future investments and operational refinements across similar projects.

Interview with Vishesh Jain, Founder & CEO, EximpleWhat gaps in India’s global trade ecosystem led you to build Eximple, and what problem did you see businesses struggling with most?Eximple came out of a problem that all three founders had seen from different choke points in the trade ecosystem. India has millions of MSMEs and manufacturers, and many of them can make products that are genuinely competitive on quality. Yet only a small fraction is able to build meaningful international businesses. In our experience, the gap is usually not manufacturing capability; it is the ability to exe..
