This landmark hybrid renewable group captive project for CleanMax will roll out in two phases.
Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals Ltd (GACL), one of India’s leading chlor‑alkali companies, has partnered with Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions Ltd to source hybrid renewable energy for its manufacturing operations in Gujarat. The project will comprise 75.90 MW of wind capacity and 84.34 MWp of solar capacity, supplying hybrid renewable energy to GACL’s Dahej and Vadodara units under the group captive structure. GACL will utilise the entire power generated by the facilities as part of its transition toward cleaner and more sustainable industrial operations.
The project is being implemented across four of CleanMax’s renewable energy sites in Gujarat, including Kalikanagar, Aji Dahisarda, Rajula and Ghuntu. Together, this project is expected to generate nearly 369 million units of clean power annually. This generation is anticipated to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by around 264,204 tonnes per year, equivalent to the environmental benefit of planting nearly 15.27 million trees annually.
Avantika Singh, Managing Director, GACL, said, “As one of India’s leading chemical manufacturers, we are committed to adopting responsible and environmentally conscious practices across our operations. Our partnership with CleanMax enables us to integrate hybrid renewable energy into our power mix, strengthening energy reliability while advancing our commitment to reducing the environmental impact of our manufacturing processes.”
Chlor‑alkali derivatives are used across industries, including textiles, paper, alumina, pharmaceuticals and water treatment. Their manufacturing is highly energy‑intensive, making renewable energy integration critical for reducing emissions while maintaining reliable operations. Beyond sustainability, renewable energy improves cost competitiveness through price visibility and long‑term savings.
Phased Decarbonisation
The project will be executed in two phases. Phase 1 comprises 16.50 MW of wind capacity and 21.701 MWp of solar capacity, while Phase 2 comprises 59.40 MW of wind capacity and 62.64 MWp of solar capacity. Both phases will be commissioned in accordance with contractual timelines agreed between CleanMax and GACL. Once commissioned, the facilities will supply hybrid renewable power to GACL’s manufacturing units. The partnership marks another step toward enabling large‑scale industrial decarbonisation in India.
Kuldeep Jain, Founder and Managing Director, Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions Ltd, noted, “Our partnership with GACL demonstrates how large manufacturing companies can transition to renewable energy at scale while maintaining operational reliability. This also marks the single largest group captive deal for CleanMax. Gujarat remains a key market for CleanMax given its strong industrial base and favourable renewable energy resources.”
CleanMax has established a robust renewable energy backbone in Gujarat to support such large‑scale industrial decarbonisation efforts. As of 31 March 2026, the company has nearly 844 MW of operational renewable energy capacity in the western state to support leading industrial customers such as GACL in their transition to cleaner energy.
