India's Baheti Commissions 1.56 MW Captive Solar Power Plant

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Indian aluminum recycling company Baheti Recycling Industries Limited has commissioned a 1.56 MW captive ground-mounted solar power plant in Gujarat to reduce electricity costs in its manufacturing process. The captive plant has a nominal capacity of 1.5624 MW DC and directly serves production electricity needs by replacing a portion of conventional grid power consumption.

Based on current estimates, the plant can save approximately 1.5 million Indian rupees (about $15,000) in electricity costs per month, totaling around 18 million Indian rupees (about $180,000) in annual savings. Baheti expects to recoup its investment before completing one-fifth of the facility's approximately 25-year operational lifespan. These savings will support operating profit margins over the remaining nine months of fiscal year 2027 without increasing production output.
