Shree Cement has officially commissioned a 20MW solar power plant in Chitrakoot district, Uttar Pradesh, marking another major milestone in its sustainability and renewable energy strategy.

The project’s Phase I has successfully achieved commercial operation, while Phase II is scheduled for completion by the end of Q4 FY2026. The facility will supply clean, renewable energy to Shree Cement’s Etah grinding unit, significantly reducing the company’s carbon footprint. The solar installation is expected to offset around 22,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually.

Beyond environmental benefits, the project also brings economic and social value to the region, creating 30–40 new jobs for the local community during its operation phase.

With this commissioning, Shree Cement’s total installed solar capacity now reaches 313MW across India, reinforcing its position as one of the country’s leading cement producers in the transition toward sustainable energy.

“Each new plant is an opportunity to innovate, integrate renewable energy, and lead the cement sector toward a sustainable, low-carbon future, creating lasting value for both the business and the environment,” said Neeraj Akhoury, Managing Director of Shree Cement.

The new facility underlines Shree Cement’s ongoing commitment to decarbonization, energy efficiency, and green growth, as India’s cement industry accelerates its shift toward a cleaner and more resilient future.
