AMPIN Energy Transition has signed an agreement with Varroc Group for an additional 27 MWp solar power project in Maharashtra, building on earlier solar installations across Maharashtra, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu.
This new capacity brings Varroc’s total contracted solar power with AMPIN to over 60 MWp, enabling the Group to source around 70% of its energy needs from renewable sources. The shift is expected to reduce energy costs by approximately 45% across Varroc’s manufacturing facilities in Maharashtra.
The 27 MWp project is also set to lower Varroc Group’s carbon footprint, mitigating an estimated 35,500 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually through sustainable practices. Utilizing its solar park in Maharashtra, AMPIN reinforces its role in the renewable energy sector, aiming to be a preferred energy transition partner for clients.
