ADF Foods to install 950 KWp rooftop solar plant at Surat facility

What was announced

• The company has signed an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract with CleanMax Enviro Energy Solutions Limited to install a 950 KWp rooftop solar power plant at its manufacturing facility at Surat, Gujarat.
• The plant will be owned by ADF under the CAPEX model.

The numbers to note

• 950 KWp is the capacity of the rooftop solar plant being installed at Surat.
• 46% is the approximate share of the Surat facility's energy requirements the plant is expected to meet, through renewable power generated and consumed on site.
• 2 MW is the size of the hybrid wind and solar power purchase agreement signed earlier this year for the Nadiad facility, to which the Surat project is an addition.

What the company says

• The Chairman and Managing Director and CEO, Mr. Bimal Thakkar, said generating power on site will increase the use of renewable energy and is expected to lower electricity costs.
• He described the investment as bringing together operational efficiency and the commitment to reducing the carbon footprint, in line with India's goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070.
• The project forms part of ADF's broader ESG initiatives focused on renewable energy adoption and responsible manufacturing.

Timeline indicated

• Commissioning is targeted by end of this year.

How to read it

• This is a capacity-building and cost-efficiency announcement around the company's own energy use, adding a second renewable energy step after the Nadiad arrangement.
• The ownership sits with the company under the CAPEX model, so the asset is built and owned by ADF.
