CleanMax and GACL Partner on 160 MW Hybrid Renewable Project in Gujarat

Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions Limited has partnered with Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals Limited to supply hybrid renewable energy from a combined 160 megawatt wind and solar project in Gujarat. The project will power GACL's Dahej and Vadodara manufacturing units under a group captive structure.

CleanMax (NSE: CLEANMAX, BSE: 544717) disclosed the partnership on June 3, 2026. The project comprises 75.90 MW of wind capacity and 84.34 MWp of solar capacity, developed across four renewable energy sites in Gujarat: Kalikanagar, Aji Dahisarda, Rajula, and Ghuntu. Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals Limited (GACL) is one of India's leading chlor-alkali manufacturers, and this project is designed to decarbonise its energy-intensive industrial manufacturing operations.

The group captive structure allows GACL to participate as a co-investor in the project's ownership, enabling the company to procure renewable energy at captive rates while meeting regulatory requirements for captive consumption. This model has become a preferred route for large industrial consumers in India seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and manage long-term energy costs without taking on full project development risk.

Industrial decarbonisation through captive renewable energy is a material ESG transition pathway for the chemicals sector, which is among the more carbon-intensive manufacturing industries. The CleanMax-GACL partnership represents a concrete step in greening GACL's production process, with implications for the company's Scope 2 emissions profile. CleanMax's multi-site, hybrid project structure also demonstrates technical capability in managing complex renewable energy delivery to industrial clients.

Key figure — 75.90 MW wind + 84.34 MWp solar = ~160 MW hybrid project
