With a combined capacity of over 30 MWp, this installation is now the largest captive solar energy plant within a single industrial campus in Odisha. The project includes a 7.324 MWp floating solar plant deployed over an internal reservoir and a 23.02 MWp rooftop solar system spread across ten industrial rooftops.
Together, these installations are expected to generate approximately 44.3 million units (MUs) of green electricity annually—enough to power 12,000 to 15,000 households—and will help reduce CO₂ emissions by 32,208 metric tons each year, equivalent to planting around 1,288 trees.
Commenting on the milestone, Abhyuday Jindal, Managing Director, Jindal Stainless, said, “We’re accelerating our progress toward Net Zero goals by investing in sustainable infrastructure. The commissioning of Odisha’s largest captive solar plant marks a significant step toward redefining stainless steel manufacturing in India through renewable energy integration.”
Siddharth Bhatia, Managing Director, AB Energia Solutions, added, “This landmark project demonstrates our commitment to sustainable innovation. By transforming unused water bodies and maximizing rooftop spaces, we’re setting new benchmarks for India’s green industrial future.”
Jindal Stainless is India’s leading stainless-steel manufacturer of Stainless Steel flat products, in Austenitic, Ferritic, Martensitic and Duplex grades in India used in a variety of industries like automobile, railways, construction, consumer goods, etc.
