Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals Limited (GACL) has partnered with Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions Limited (CleanMax) to source hybrid renewable energy for its manufacturing operations in Gujarat. This project involves 75.90 MW of wind capacity and 84.34 MWp of solar capacity, which will supply 100% of the power generated to GACL's Dahej and Vadodara units under a group captive structure. The project, being implemented across four sites in Gujarat—Kalikanagar, Aji Dahisarda, Rajula, and Ghuntu—is expected to generate approximately 36.9 crore units of clean power annually. This initiative is projected to reduce CO2 emissions by 2,64,204 tons per year, equivalent to planting nearly 15.27 million trees annually. The project will be executed in two phases, with commissioning expected according to contractual timelines. This collaboration aims to accelerate industrial decarbonisation in India, aligning environmental responsibility with operational efficiency. GACL, a leading chlor-alkali company, recognizes the energy-intensive nature of its operations and the critical role of renewable energy in reducing emissions and improving cost competitiveness. CleanMax, with a significant operational renewable energy capacity in Gujarat, supports this transition through its expertise in renewable energy solutions. Smt. Avantika Singh, IAS, stated that sustainability is a central pillar of GACL's long-term growth strategy, and this partnership enables the integration of hybrid renewable energy to strengthen energy reliability and reduce environmental impact. Mr. Kuldeep Jain, Founder and Managing Director of CleanMax, highlighted this as their single largest group captive deal, underscoring Gujarat's importance as a market for renewable energy solutions.
