EUROBOND Commissions 2.2 MW Solar Plant, Takes Captive Solar Capacity to 3.6 MW

EUROBOND has officially launched operations at its new 2.2 MW grid connected solar facility in Moti Falod, Surat. This launch completes the third phase of a multi year energy expansion, bringing the company’s total operational capacity to 3.6 MW. Most significantly, this new infrastructure allows EUROBOND to offset 50% of its total factory power requirements through captive solar energy, an aggressive scale up from its previous 20% offset capability.

The plant is designed to generate 30 lakh units of clean electricity annually.  This generated power is used to offset the facility’s overall energy consumption, significantly cutting reliance on conventional power grids and directly eliminating the carbon emissions associated with traditional coal based electricity. This transition began with an initial 520 kW installation in 2020, expanded to 1.4 MW in 2024, and now reaches this major 50% offset milestone with the latest facility fully online.

This energy capacity expansion directly complements the company’s broader resource conservation practices, specifically its Zero Liquid Discharge operations. In addition to solar power generation, EUROBOND operates in-house sewage and effluent treatment facilities that have reclaimed over 1,322,500 litres of treated water over the last six months alone. This treated water is utilised for site gardening, greenbelt maintenance, and general facility requirements, ensuring zero industrial wastewater leaves the premises.

As green building frameworks under the Indian Green Building Council place greater emphasis on supply chain transparency, developers and architects are actively seeking low-carbon building materials. EUROBOND’s operational clean energy setup and water reclamation systems offer architects and project planners clear environmental benchmarks, making it simpler for commercial and residential developments to achieve their green building certifications.

Divyam Shah, Whole Time Director and CFO of Euro Panel Products, highlighted the strategic importance of the installation, “Sustainability has always been embedded in EUROBOND’s culture and the way we approach manufacturing. Every investment we make in renewable energy and resource conservation reflects our long-term commitment to building a more responsible and resilient business. Expanding our captive solar infrastructure to 3.6 MW is an important milestone in that journey, strengthening our ability to manufacture more efficiently while reducing our carbon footprint and conserving natural resources. As we continue to grow, our focus remains on creating lasting value through responsible operations and ensuring that every panel we produce reflects the highest standards of quality, performance, and environmental stewardship.”

The commissioning of the Surat plant forms part of EUROBOND’s ongoing investments into overall manufacturing standards. Alongside its Extended Producer Responsibility compliance and Indian Green Building Council membership, the company recently expanded its in-house laboratory’s NABL accreditation scope from 16 to 51 parameters covering coil, coating, core, ACP, and MCP. Together, these infrastructure updates establish a transparent and data-backed operational footprint.
