ACC And Adani Foundation Bring Solar-Powered Irrigation & Drinking Water Systems To Gram Panchayat Of Chhatatand And Nearby Villages In Sindri, Jharkhand

ACC, the cement and building materials company under the diversified Adani Portfolio, in partnership with the Adani Foundation, has implemented solar-powered irrigation and drinking water systems across Chhatatand Gram Panchayat and surrounding villages in Sindri, Jharkhand. These initiatives are helping small farmers lower irrigation costs, improve crop productivity, and provide safe drinking water to more than 150 families in the region. Previously, unreliable electricity and rising diesel prices made farming challenging, while access to clean water remained a daily concern for many households.

To address these issues, ACC installed 5 HP solar irrigation pumps covering 15 acres of farmland in Chhatatand and Samlapur, ensuring low-cost, continuous irrigation. Simultaneously, six 2 HP solar drinking water systems were set up across five villages, including Simatand, Kushberia, and Jamadoba Basti. These systems pump water into overhead tanks, offering families a sustainable and safe water supply close to home. Through these renewable energy interventions, ACC and the Adani Foundation are promoting long-term self-reliance, better health outcomes, and climate-friendly livelihoods in Jharkhand’s Sindri region.
