04 Jun 2025 CW Team

Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) has expanded its renewable energy footprint by commissioning a 20MWp solar power plant at its new Kharkhoda facility in Haryana and adding 10MWp at its existing Manesar plant, taking its total installed solar capacity from 49MWp to 79MWp within a year.

The company announced plans to ramp up its solar capacity to 319MWp by FY2030–31, supported by an investment of over Rs 9.25 billion, as part of its broader strategy to align with Suzuki Motor Corporation’s Environment Vision 2050 and India's national renewable energy goals.

“As we scale production towards four million units, our energy usage must follow the same sustainable path,” said Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO of Maruti Suzuki India Limited. “These solar initiatives mark a critical step in building a cleaner energy ecosystem for future-ready manufacturing.”

Maruti Suzuki also plans to increase its green power intake from state electricity boards. Through combined solar and green energy initiatives, the company expects renewable sources to account for 85 per cent of its total electricity consumption by FY2030–31.

This expansion reflects MSIL’s ongoing commitment to green manufacturing, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #7 on affordable and clean energy.
