Aether Industries has commissioned a 15 MW solar power project in Bharuch, Gujarat, in partnership with KPIG Energia, a subsidiary of KPI Green Energy.
The project, under the captive power producer segment, features advanced auto-tracker modules that optimize energy output by aligning with the sun’s trajectory.
This installation aligns with Aether Industries’ Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals and is expected to save over Rs 150 million annually in energy costs while significantly reducing its carbon footprint.
In a separate development, Aether Industries signed a three-year contract with Chemoxy International, a SEQENS group subsidiary, to manufacture over 100 tonnes of natural bio-based products annually. Production under this agreement is set to begin within 10 months.
