Adani Energy Solutions Ltd (AESL) has secured a hybrid power supply mandate from Asahi India Glass Ltd (AIS), marking a significant step towards expanding managed clean energy solutions for commercial and industrial consumers. The agreement will see AESL supply and manage electricity requirements for AIS’s manufacturing facilities across multiple locations in India.
Under the mandate, AESL’s Commercial & Industrial (C&I) energy solutions arm will provide around 15.5 crore units of electricity annually to Asahi India Glass plants located in Bawal (Haryana), Roorkee (Uttarakhand), and Patan (Gujarat). A substantial portion of this power—approximately 11 crore units—will be sourced from renewable energy, including wind and solar, supported by conventional power to ensure reliability and uninterrupted supply.
The hybrid power arrangement is expected to significantly increase AIS’s share of renewable energy consumption to nearly 70 per cent, compared to about 30 per cent earlier. This transition is aimed at lowering energy costs, improving power reliability, and reducing the company’s carbon footprint. According to estimates, the shift to cleaner power will help cut carbon dioxide emissions by over 72,000 metric tonnes annually, equivalent to the environmental impact of planting several million trees.
As part of the agreement, Adani Energy Solutions will manage the entire power value chain, including sourcing, scheduling, balancing, and regulatory compliance, offering AIS a single-window solution for its energy needs. This will allow the glass manufacturer to focus on its core operations while benefiting from predictable energy costs and sustainability gains.
The mandate strengthens AESL’s position in the fast-growing C&I renewable energy market and reflects rising demand from Indian manufacturers for integrated, low-carbon power solutions aligned with long-term sustainability goals.
