Shree Cement commissions 6 MWp solar plant at Roorkee unit

Shree Cement Limited has commissioned a 6 MWp solar power plant at its Roorkee facility in Uttarakhand. The plant, set up adjacent to its existing cement operations, was developed under a build-own-operate model with a capital investment of approximately Rs 160 million.

With this addition, the company has increased solar capacity at the Roorkee site from 1.0 MWp to 7.0 MWp. Shree Cement’s total installed solar capacity now stands at 293.5 MWp across all locations.

The new plant is expected to reduce dependence on grid electricity and offset around 6,500 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually.
