Promising to see organizations of Kajaria’s stature joining the green energy revolution, says Sharma
Kajaria Ceramics, the largest manufacturer of ceramic-vitrified tiles in India, is switching to RE power at its Sikandrabad plant in an attempt to conduct business in the most responsible and sustainable manner.
The company has signed a 25-year open access solar PPA with Sunsure Energy to source a significant amount of the power they need for their Sikandrabad plant from green energy, helping them reduce their emissions.
This is a significant step by Kajaria Ceramics to decarbonize their energy pipeline. Through the PPA, Sunsure Energy will be supplying over 15.75 million units of green power to Kajaria’s Sikandrabad factory. This will enable them to offset over 12.6 million kg of CO2 yearly for the next 25 years.
“We are delighted to have Sunsure Energy as our partner in our route to decarbonization,” said R.C. Rawat, COO (A&T) and Company Secretary at Kajaria Ceramics.
“Technology, research, design and quality have always been the main focus points at Kajaria and have led the organization to become the largest manufacturer of tiles in India,” he said in a release on 7 Aug 2023.
“It’s very promising to see organizations of Kajaria’s stature joining the green energy revolution. We hope to continue to leverage our strengths in the RE sector to help Kajaria Ceramics further in their Net Zero journey,” said Shashank Sharma, Founder – Chairman & CEO of Sunsure Energy.
“Together, we are committed to creating a brighter and sustainable future for India.
“It gives us immense pleasure to join forces with the largest tile maker in India, taking yet another step towards making our nation greener. We welcome Kajaria Ceramics into our family of esteemed customers,” he said.
Sunsure Energy is one of India’s largest C&I focused Renewable Energy Power Producers. Sunsure is backed by Partners Group AG with a US$400 million equity investment for developing over 3 GW of RE assets by 2027. Fiinews.com
