Godrej supports renewable energy transition in Northeast India’s FMCG industry

Kolkata, Apr 30 (UNI) In a significant advancement supporting India's ambitious target of achieving 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, Energy Solutions, business of the Godrej Enterprises Group, has successfully secured a comprehensive project of 2 MWp solar power plant for a leading FMCG company’s facility in Guwahati, Assam.
This landmark project aligns with the nation's vision for energy independence and sustainable industrial growth, showcasing Godrej's commitment to accelerating India's clean energy transition through innovative, customized renewable solutions.
Being one of the most responsible brands in India, this project marks Godrej's first major solar EPC project in the FMCG sector, reducing carbon emissions by approximately 98.4 tons annually showcasing Godrej’s expanding capabilities in delivering customized renewable energy solutions across diverse industries.

The state-of-the-art solar plant will generate approximately 2.4 million kilowatt-hours of green energy annually, significantly reducing the facility's carbon footprint. The facility will now see approximately ₹1.4 crore in annual energy cost savings, with the solar installation designed to operate for at least 25 years, generating a total of 57,000 MWh of clean energy over its lifetime.

"This solar installation represents a milestone in our renewable energy portfolio," said Raghavendra Mirji, Executive Vice- President & Business Head, Energy Solutions, a part of Godrej Enterprises.
He said, “India's industrial sector is at a pivotal moment in its energy transition, with companies recognizing that renewable integration is environmentally necessary and economically advantageous. Godrej is one of the most trusted brands in India and we are committed to advancing India's energy transition by providing scalable, efficient solar solutions across sectors. This project exemplifies how industrial facilities can embrace clean energy while improving operational efficiency.”

The project aligns strategically with Assam's progressive renewable energy policy, which aims to establish 2,000 MW of renewable energy generation capacity by 2025, with a primary focus on solar power. This ambitious regional target allocates 1,500 MW to utility-scale solar projects and 500 MW to rooftop and distributed solar systems. Godrej's multi-format installation contributes to achieving these targets through private sector leadership.

Godrej has undertaken a range of pioneering projects across India. In the solar segment, the business commissioned 12.5 MWp rooftop solar project, the third largest rooftop solar installations in India and the first in Madhya Pradesh. Recently, the company commissioned a 25MW ground-mounted solar project in Dhule, Maharashtra, expected to generate 45 million units annually. This project highlights Godrej’s commitment to supporting Maharashtra's renewable energy objectives and advancing environmental stewardship.
