Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) has announced the installation of a 20 MWp solar power plant at its Manesar factory. The programme will generate 28,000 MW per year, which is equal to the energy necessary to produce nearly 67,000 automobiles per year.
“Renewable energy must be harnessed as soon as possible. We support the government’s goal of making India self-sufficient in renewable energy sources “Hisashi Takeuchi, MSI’s Managing Director and CEO, said in a statement. He stated that the company’s efforts are focused on boosting decarbonization in order to reduce emissions.
“Our company has been committed to the cause of expanding the use of sustainable energy options to optimise our operations. The power generation from this initiative will constitute over 11.5 per cent of the power requirement of the facility at Manesar,” Takeuchi noted.
