en.Wedoany.com Reported - Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals Limited (GACL) has partnered with CleanMax to procure hybrid renewable energy for its manufacturing operations in Gujarat, with projects comprising 75.90 MW of wind power and 84.34 MW of solar capacity. Under a group captive structure, the hybrid renewable energy generated from these facilities will be supplied to GACL's Dahej and Baroda plants. GACL will utilize 100% of the electricity generated from the aforementioned facilities, supporting the company's transition towards cleaner and more sustainable industrial operations and contributing to the national commitment of achieving net-zero carbon emissions.
The project is being implemented at four renewable energy sites in Gujarat owned by CleanMax, namely Kalikanagar, Aji Dahisarda, Rajula, and Ghuntu. The project is expected to generate approximately 369 million units (~36.9 crore units) of clean electricity annually. This generation is anticipated to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 264,204 tons per year, equivalent to the environmental benefit of planting approximately 15.27 million trees annually. The project is being executed in two phases: Phase I includes 16.50 MW of wind power and 21.701 MW of solar capacity, while Phase II includes 59.40 MW of wind power and 62.64 MW of solar capacity. Both phases will be commissioned according to the contract schedule agreed upon by both parties, after which hybrid renewable energy will be supplied to GACL's production units.
GACL holds a strong position in India's chlor-alkali industry, where chlor-alkali production is an energy-intensive sector, making renewable energy integration crucial for reducing emissions while maintaining reliable operations. Renewable energy enhances cost competitiveness through price visibility and long-term savings. The company's incorporation of clean energy into its operations to reduce its environmental footprint is a key part of its ongoing efforts to advance solutions that combine environmental responsibility with operational efficiency.
As of March 31, 2026, CleanMax has approximately 844 MW of operational renewable energy capacity in Gujarat, strengthening its ability to support industrial clients like GACL in their transition to clean energy. Gujarat's favorable open access policies and abundant solar and wind resources further enable industries in the state to integrate renewable energy into their operations.
CleanMax continues to solidify its role as a partner for industrial clients across India in their net-zero transition. The collaboration with GACL reflects a shared commitment to accelerating renewable energy adoption while providing reliable, sustainable power for large-scale industrial operations.
Smt. Avantika Singh (IAS) stated that at GACL, sustainability is a core pillar of the long-term growth strategy. As a producer of chlor-alkali chemicals and derivatives (used in industries such as textiles, paper, alumina, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment), the company is committed to adopting responsible and environmentally friendly practices in its operations. The partnership with CleanMax enables the company to integrate hybrid renewable energy into its power mix, advancing its commitment to reducing the environmental impact of its manufacturing processes while enhancing energy reliability.
Mr. Kuldeep Jain, Founder and Managing Director of Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions Limited, stated that the collaboration with GACL demonstrates how large manufacturing enterprises can transition to renewable energy at scale while maintaining operational reliability. This is also CleanMax's largest-ever group captive transaction. With a strong industrial base and abundant renewable energy resources, Gujarat remains a key market for CleanMax.
