en.Wedoany.com Reported - Maruti Suzuki India Limited has announced plans to invest INR 9.25 billion in green energy projects by the fiscal year 2030-31. In a press release, the company stated that it will expand its biogas and solar power generation capacity to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

Maruti Suzuki plans to develop two biogas projects and construct a 10-tonne-per-day biogas plant at its Kharkhoda facility, which is expected to become operational in the fiscal year 2026-27. Additionally, the company will expand the capacity of its biogas plant at the Manesar facility from 0.2 TPD to 0.7 TPD. Maruti Suzuki will invest INR 1.5 billion in these two projects to integrate renewable energy solutions into its operations.

The 10 TPD biogas plant at the Kharkhoda facility is expected to commence operations this fiscal year. When operating at full capacity, it is projected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 9,490 tonnes and meet approximately 20% of the plant's total gas demand.

Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director and CEO of Maruti Suzuki India Limited, stated that the company is building a new 10-tonne-per-day biogas plant at the Kharkhoda facility and expanding the existing biogas plant at the Manesar facility. Such initiatives are becoming increasingly important amid growing uncertainty in the global energy landscape.

Maruti Suzuki previously expanded its solar capacity by 30 MWp through two new solar projects in Haryana. The company commissioned a 20 MWp solar project at the Kharkhoda facility and added 10 MWp of solar capacity at the Manesar facility. With these additions, MSIL's total solar capacity across all sites has increased from 49 MWp to 79 MWp over the past year.

Furthermore, the company is increasing the share of green electricity procured from the National Electricity Board in its consumption. These solar and green power initiatives will help Maruti Suzuki reduce its reliance on traditional energy sources and accelerate the transition to renewable energy.
