Boyce launches 25 MW ground-mounted solar project in Maharashtra
Mumbai| Godrej & Boyce’s Electricals and Electronics business, part of Godrej Enterprises Group, has announced the launch of a 25 MW AC ground-mounted solar project in Dhule, Maharashtra for Maharashtra State Power Generation Company Limited. This massive installation, covering 52 hectares, is set to produce 45 million units annually. The solar plant will supply electricity to the open market, which will contribute to Maharashtra’s renewable energy ambitions. The project marks an important milestone in Godrej & Boyce’s commitment to sustainable energy and environmental management. Raghavendra Mirzi, executive vice president and business head, Electricals and Electronics, Godrej & Boyce, a part of Godrej Enterprises Group, said, “India has set an ambitious target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based energy by 2030 as pledged at COP26 under the Panchamrit initiative. This target reflects the significant growth of the renewable energy sector.”
At Godrej & Boyce, we are proud to contribute to this vision while supporting the ‘Make in India’ initiative. We have a particular focus on developing customized solutions to meet the specific challenges of each project, and this 25 MW solar installation confirms our potential for ‘Innovation for India’. The aim is to design end-to-end solutions that are carefully tailored to their environment while ensuring maximum efficiency.
Apart from contributing to Maharashtra’s renewable energy goals, the project also highlights the important role of private enterprises in accelerating India’s clean energy transition. One of the unique aspects of this project is innovative value engineering used to tackle the challenges of rugged land and hard soil layers.
Despite the complex topography, custom-designed structures with different heights and wind resistance capabilities were designed to ensure maximum efficiency. This large-scale project, which increases Mahagenco’s total capacity to 428.02 MW, highlights the adaptability and technical strength of the business in executing challenging solar installations.
