QCIL Begins Solar Shift Across Five Hospital Facilities

08 Apr 2026 CW Team

The initiative forms part of QCIL’s broader plan to shift 19 hospitals under CARE Hospitals and KIMS Health to renewable energy in phases. Phase I covers Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra, followed by Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu in Phase II, Kerala in Phase III, and Madhya Pradesh and Telangana in Phase IV.

QCIL is targeting around 30 MW of renewable capacity across its network, with nearly 6 MWp planned under Phase I. Over the long term, the group aims to meet close to 80 per cent of its total energy consumption through renewable sources, supported by a hybrid model combining solar, wind and battery energy storage systems.

The transition is expected to reduce annual electricity costs by about 20 per cent, while improving cost visibility and reducing exposure to tariff volatility. Phase I is also projected to cut carbon emissions by around 8,000 tonnes annually, with the full rollout expected to offset nearly 40,000 tonnes per year.

The projects will be implemented under the group captive model, which combines long-term renewable power procurement with equity participation. AMPIN Energy will service QCIL’s facilities in Odisha and Chhattisgarh, while Radiance Renewables will execute the Maharashtra projects.

“As we scale our network, sustainability is no longer optional, it is foundational to resilience and efficiency. The Group Captive Solar model allows us to move from being passive consumers of power to active participants in the energy ecosystem, with greater control over cost, reliability, and environmental impact. This is the beginning of a larger shift to embed sustainability into the core of how we build and operate healthcare,” said Varun Khanna, Group Managing Director, Quality Care India.
