BASF India Limited has signed a share purchase agreement with Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions Limited to source renewable power from a hybrid solar and wind project in Jamnagar, Gujarat. The arrangement follows the captive power generation model. The plan is to build a 12.21 MW hybrid project that will supply clean energy to BASF India’s manufacturing units in Dahej and Panoli.
The agreement covers the annual procurement of about 28860 MWh of renewable power with green attributes under the group captive route. The project, developed under Clean Max Amalfi Private Limited, will include 6.6 MVA of wind capacity and 5.61 MWp of solar capacity. It is expected to start operations in 2026.
