Cipla has set up a 30 MW solar group captive project in Tuljapur,Maharashtra. Spread across 115 acres, the solar project has been commissioned in partnership with AMP Energy India, and is one of the largest solar open access projects in thestate set up by a corporate.
This is in line with the Company's ESG initiatives aimed at developing a holistic sustainabilityroad map for the future. By 2025, Cipla plans to achieve carbon and water neutrality, zerowaste to landfill, anti-microbial resistance stewardship and green chemistry.
The project will support the Company's green energy requirements for its manufacturing unitsat Kurkumbh and Patalganga in Maharashtra. It will also help the Company avoid carbondioxide emissions by as much as 35,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e)annually over its project life of 25 years.
In Aug 2018, Cipla successfully implemented a third party solar open access through a longterm power purchase agreement in Karnataka that helped replace 90% of energy sourcingfor the Company's manufacturing units in Virgonagar and Bommsandra to renewablepower.
