Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) on Monday said it has set up a 20 MWp solar power plant at its Manesar-based manufacturing facility.
The initiative will contribute 28,000 MW per annum, which is equivalent to the energy required for the production of over 67,000 cars annually.
“Harnessing renewable energy is the need of the hour. We are committed to the Government’s vision of making India rich in the use of renewable energy sources,” MSI Managing Director and CEO Hisashi Takeuchi said in a statement.
The company’s efforts are aligned towards encouraging decarbonisation in a bid to bring down emissions, he added.
