In alignment with our mission to provide dependable clean energy solutions to our partners, we have installed 15 solar power plants in Telangana. Our first solar power plant in this state was commissioned in 2015. Since then, we have constructed solar capacity of 8 MWp, generating over 1,18,82,859 units of solar electricity annually in the state and abated 11,408 tonnes of CO2 per annum, providing green energy to our clients across diverse sectors – Government, Auto, Auto Ancillaries, and Consumer Durables.
