Texmaco Rail & Engineering Ltd has started operations at a 10-megawatt solar power facility located at its Raipur site in Chhattisgarh. The installation is part of the company’s ongoing move toward cleaner energy sources.
The plant was set up in collaboration with AMP Energy India and is described as a significant step in Texmaco’s efforts to lower its environmental impact. According to the company, the plant is expected to generate more than 15 million units of renewable electricity annually, which will be used to support Texmaco’s manufacturing operations in Raipur. This will help cut carbon dioxide emissions by over 12,000 tonnes each year.
“This project isn’t just about meeting sustainability goals. It represents a shift in how industrial operations in India can adopt cleaner, more efficient power systems,” said Indrajit Mookerjee, Vice Chairman and Executive Director of Texmaco Rail.
Implemented under the Group Captive Open Access Policy, the solar facility allows Texmaco to manage its power supply more directly, reduce its electricity costs by 30 to 40 percent, and rely less on the traditional power grid. “Environmentally responsible manufacturing is now essential,” Mr Mookerjee added. “This move reflects our focus on environmental, social, and governance values and supports our position at the forefront of clean energy use in the manufacturing industry.”
