Clean energy solutions company Gentari has partnered with UltraTech Cement Ltd, India’s largest cement and ready-mix-concrete company, to fully operationalise an on-site hybrid RTC renewable energy project. The 7.5 MW of RTC renewable energy facility brings together solar, wind, and battery energy storage, all co-located within the premises of UltraTech’s integrated cement manufacturing unit Sewagram Cement Works located in Gujarat.
The project will supply uninterrupted clean power to UltraTech’s manufacturing operations.
“This project with UltraTech reflects the evolution of industrial energy demand—and our ability to meet it with foresight, innovation, and collaboration,” said Sharad Pungalia, Country Head, Gentari India. “This project wasn’t built in isolation—it was co-created with our customer UltraTech to deliver a solution that is not only sustainable, but operationally viable at scale.”
This project integrates solar (using bifacial modules with tracker), wind, and storage in a co-located configuration.
UltraTech is leveraging green energy as a key enabler for decarbonisation of its operations, in line with its 2050 Net Zero goal. In FY25, it became one of the first companies in the industrial category in India to commission 1 GW of renewable energy (RE) capacity for captive use. UltraTech aims to increase the share of green energy in its total power mix to 65% by 2027 and 85% by 2030. As part of its RE100 commitment, UltraTech aims to meet 100% of its electricity requirement through renewables sources by 2050.
