Shree Cement Ltd, a leading name in India’s cement industry, has commissioned a 6.0 MWp solar power plant at its Roorkee unit in Uttarakhand. Located next to its existing facility, the new installation represents a significant stride in the company’s commitment to expanding renewable energy use and reducing its carbon emissions.

With this addition, the Roorkee unit’s solar capacity has increased from 1.0 MWp to 7.0 MWp—a sevenfold jump. Across all its operations, Shree Cement now has a total installed solar capacity of 293.5 MWp, reinforcing its dedication to environmentally responsible manufacturing.

Neeraj Akhoury, Managing Director at Shree Cement, said, “Environmental stewardship is central to our operations. The new solar facility at Roorkee reflects our ongoing efforts to cut carbon emissions, enhance energy security, and support broader sustainability goals. These initiatives also generate local employment and promote inclusive regional development.”

The solar plant, built at an investment of approximately Rs 160 million, is expected to reduce reliance on grid electricity and offset nearly 6,500 metric tonnes of CO₂ annually. This development marks another milestone in Shree Cement’s journey towards energy independence and sustainable industrial growth.
