Motherson Commissions 15 MWp Captive Solar Project in Uttar Pradesh

Samvardhana Motherson International Limited has commissioned its first ground-mounted captive solar power project in Mahoba, Uttar Pradesh, through subsidiary Onega Solar Private Limited under Motherson New Energy Limited. The 15 MWp facility will supply clean energy to multiple Motherson manufacturing plants across the state.

Samvardhana Motherson International Limited (NSE: MOTHERSON; BSE: 517334), one of the world's largest automotive component manufacturers, announced on June 8, 2026, the commissioning of its first captive solar power project in India. The 15 MWp ground-mounted solar facility is located in Mahoba, Uttar Pradesh, and has been developed through Onega Solar Private Limited, a subsidiary under Motherson New Energy Limited (MNEL), the group's dedicated clean energy business.

The solar plant will supply renewable electricity directly to multiple Motherson manufacturing facilities across Uttar Pradesh, reducing dependence on grid power and lowering the carbon intensity of the group's industrial operations. Captive renewable energy projects offer manufacturers a predictable, long-term clean power supply while contributing to Scope 2 emission reductions. The commissioning of this plant marks a concrete operational step in Motherson's broader industrial decarbonisation strategy.

For a global automotive supplier with operations spanning over 40 countries, demonstrating in-house renewable energy capacity is a credible ESG milestone rather than a disclosure commitment. The 15 MWp Mahoba project signals that Motherson is embedding clean energy infrastructure directly into its manufacturing ecosystem. This approach aligns with rising OEM customer expectations for supply chain decarbonisation and positions MNEL as a strategic internal clean energy enabler for the group.
