Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals Limited (GACL), one of India’s leading chlor-alkali manufacturers, has partnered with Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions Limited (CleanMax) to procure hybrid renewable energy for its manufacturing facilities in Dahej and Vadodara, Gujarat.
Under the agreement, CleanMax will develop a hybrid renewable energy project comprising 75.90 MW of wind capacity and 84.34 MWp of solar capacity. The project will operate under a group captive model, with the entire power generated from the facilities being supplied to GACL’s manufacturing units.
The renewable energy project is expected to support GACL’s decarbonization strategy by reducing its dependence on conventional energy sources while improving long-term energy cost visibility and operational sustainability. The initiative also aligns with India’s broader objective of achieving net-zero carbon emissions.
The project will be developed across four CleanMax renewable energy sites in Gujarat—Kalikanagar, Aji Dahisarda, Rajula, and Ghuntu. Once operational, the facilities are expected to generate approximately 369 million units of clean electricity annually.
According to the companies, the project is anticipated to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by around 264,204 tonnes per year. The environmental impact is estimated to be equivalent to planting approximately 15.27 million trees annually.
The project will be implemented in two phases. Phase 1 will comprise 16.50 MW of wind capacity and 21.701 MWp of solar capacity, while Phase 2 will include 59.40 MW of wind capacity and 62.64 MWp of solar capacity. Both phases are expected to be commissioned in line with agreed contractual timelines.
The partnership marks a significant step toward large-scale industrial decarbonization in India’s chemical manufacturing sector, where energy consumption represents a major component of operational costs and emissions. As a leading producer of chlor-alkali products used across industries such as textiles, paper, alumina, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment, GACL is increasingly integrating renewable energy into its operations to reduce its environmental footprint.
CleanMax highlighted that Gujarat remains a strategic market for renewable energy deployment due to its strong industrial base, favorable renewable energy resources, and supportive open-access policies. As of March 31, 2026, the company had approximately 844 MW of operational renewable energy capacity across the state.
Commenting on the development, Avantika Singh, IAS, said the partnership will strengthen GACL’s commitment to sustainable manufacturing by integrating hybrid renewable energy into its power mix while enhancing energy reliability and reducing environmental impact.
Kuldeep Jain, Founder and Managing Director of CleanMax, described the agreement as the company’s largest group captive transaction to date. He noted that the partnership demonstrates how energy-intensive industries can transition to renewable energy at scale while maintaining operational reliability and supporting long-term net-zero objectives.
The collaboration further reinforces the growing role of hybrid renewable energy solutions in helping industrial consumers reduce emissions, improve energy security, and accelerate their transition toward sustainable operation
