Asahi India Glass Goes Green: 70% Renewable
26 Jan
Summary
- Partnership significantly increases renewable energy share to 70%.
- Agreement will reduce CO2 emissions by 72,300 tonnes annually.
- Adani will manage hybrid power for three manufacturing facilities.
Asahi India Glass Ltd (AIS) is enhancing its commitment to sustainability through a new agreement with Adani Energy Solutions Ltd (AESL). This partnership focuses on securing a green energy supply for AIS's manufacturing operations.
AESL's C&I division will manage a hybrid power mandate of 15.50 crore units annually for AIS facilities located in Bawal (Haryana), Roorkee (Uttarakhand), and Patan (Gujarat). Approximately 11 crore units will be sourced from renewable energy.
This strategic move will elevate the proportion of renewable energy in Asahi India Glass's total energy consumption to around 70 percent, a substantial increase from the previous nearly 30 percent. This positions AIS as a leading industrial adopter of clean energy in India.
The transition is projected to cut annual carbon dioxide emissions by an estimated 72,300 metric tonnes, offering environmental benefits equivalent to planting over 3.6 million trees. The agreement aims to improve cost predictability and energy security.
AESL will oversee the entire power value chain, ensuring supply optimization, reliability, and cost management under defined service level agreements. This allows AIS to concentrate on its core manufacturing activities while benefiting from a stable power supply.
This initiative follows AESL's prior renewable energy partnership with textile manufacturer RSWM Ltd. AESL's C&I vertical provides customized power solutions and aims to build a substantial C&I portfolio over the next five years.
Market trends show a growing preference for specialized energy providers among industrial consumers, driven by sustainability goals, open access frameworks, and improving cost-effectiveness.
