Tata Motors, Tata Power to Mount 7 MW Solar Plant at Pantnagar Manufacturing Facility

• The solar installment is collectively expected to generate 215 million units of power.
• The green power thus generated will be enough to mitigate more than 1.7 lakh tonnes of carbon emission.

Both companies of the Tata Group-- Tata Motors as well as Tata Power-- have revealed that they have entered into a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for the development of a 7 MW captive solar power project at its Pantnagar plant in Uttarakhand. According to the firm, this setup is collectively expected to generate 215 million units of power. The firms held that this power is enough to mitigate greater than 1.7 lakh tonnes of carbon emission.

The claimed cost savings in emissions amounts growing more than 2.72 lakh teak trees over a lifetime. Anal Vijay Singh, Plant Head of Pantnagar Plant, Tata Motors, mentioned, "Having actually won numerous awards, our Pantnagar plant has actually constantly been admired for its efforts to decrease greenhouse gas emissions in order to attain net-zero emission objective. The plant has been identified throughout the industry for its long-successful power conservation measures. With this agreement, we will certainly further reinforce our journey towards a cleaner and greener future."

Tata Motors produces Tata Ace-- the mini one-tonne truck-- and its variants at Pantnagar center which is spread out throughout 1,000 acres in Uttarakhand's State Industrial Development Corporation (SIDCUL).

In September, Tata Motors and also Tata Power had also entered into a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to establish a 4 MWp on-site solar project at Tata Motors' Pune commercial vehicle manufacturing facility. The companies called it a considerable action in the direction of building a resilient and sustainable future as well as the installation is collectively expected to generate 5.8 million units of electricity. Even this would possibly mitigate greater than 10 lakh tonnes of carbon emission which is equivalent to growing over 16 lakh teak wood trees over a lifetime.

Last year, Tata Power Solar Solution Limited revealed the significant expansion of its manufacturing center in Bengaluru which took the complete production ability of cells and modules to 1,100 MW. The company held that the development was based upon the considerable boost sought after that the firm has actually seen for its solar components because of helpful policy steps announced just recently by the Government of India for creating 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' or Self-Reliant India.
