Solar Power Plants in Haryana

In alignment with our mission to provide dependable clean energy solutions to our partners, we have installed 35 solar power plants in Haryana. Our first solar power plant in this state was commissioned in 2015 and since then, we have constructed solar capacity of over 16 MWp generating over 2,41,17,414 units of solar electricity annually in the state, abating 23,153 tonnes of CO2 per annum, providing green energy to our clients across diverse sectors – from Auto, Auto ancillaries, Education, Govt, Manufacturing, Consumer Durables, FMCG & Beverages, and Metal.
