Mumbai, September 2026.
Nuvoco
Vistas Corp. Ltd. (“Nuvoco”), India’s trusted building materials Company, has
partnered with Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions Limited (“CleanMax”), India's
largest renewable energy solutions provider for the commercial and industrial
("C&I") sector, for a 46.4 MW wind-solar hybrid renewable
energy project in Rajasthan. The initiative will support Nuvoco’s cement
operations with cleaner power and strengthen the Company’s long-term renewable
energy and decarbonisation strategy. The project is intended to increase the
share of renewable energy in Nuvoco’s power consumption, thereby lowering
fossil-fuel consumption and associated emissions.
The
project will be developed at Bhikamkhore, Rajasthan by CleanMax, an Independent
Power Producer (IPP). It will comprise 20 MW of wind capacity and 26.4
MWdc of solar capacity including a 2-MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). Power
generated from the project will be supplied to Nuvoco through the State
Transmission Utility (STU) Open Access network. The initiative is expected to
help avoid approximately 1,25,485 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually
(Scope 1 and Scope 2).
Once
operational, the hybrid project is expected to generate approximately
100 MU of renewable electricity annually, while supporting Nuvoco’s
long-term energy and sustainability objectives.
The
initiative builds on Nuvoco’s ongoing efforts to reduce the carbon intensity of
its manufacturing operations through renewable energy, Waste Heat Recovery
Systems (WHRS), energy-efficiency measures and increased use of alternative
fuels. The project further advances Nuvoco’s DIRE (Digitalisation, Innovation
and Renewables) agenda, which provides a structured pathway to drive climate
action, renewable energy transition, water stewardship, circularity and
biodiversity conservation across its manufacturing ecosystem, while enabling
more resilient, resource-efficient and lower-carbon operations.
Commenting
on the initiative, Jayakumar Krishnaswamy, Managing Director, Nuvoco Vistas
Corp. Ltd., said, “This
marks an important step in advancing Nuvoco’s journey towards more sustainable
and resilient operations. Our collaboration with CleanMax will increase the
share of renewable energy across our Rajasthan operations, strengthening our
energy mix while improving long-term cost efficiency and reducing our
dependence on conventional power sources. Initiatives such as these reinforce
our commitment to operational excellence and responsible growth, while
supporting our vision of Building a Safer, Smarter and Sustainable World.”
Kuldeep
Jain, Founder and Managing Director, CleanMax, said, “Cement plants run continuously, so the
power behind them has to be dependable for decades, not years. We’re seeing
manufacturing industries view clean energy as an integral part of their core
operations and long-term strategy. Our partnership with Nuvoco reflects that
shift, and we’re pleased to support its decarbonisation journey. This
wind-solar hybrid project is designed to deliver long-term cost certainty while
supporting the Company’s transition to cleaner power.”
