A 30 MW solar group captive project in Tuljapur, Maharashtra built by Cipla, which is spread over 115 acres, and the solar project has been commissioned in partnership with AMP Energy India. It is one of the largest solar open access projects in the Maharashtra state, set up by a corporate.

This project aligns with Cipla’s ESG initiatives, which are aimed at the development of a holistic sustainability roadmap for the future.

By 2025, Cipla aims for the achievement of carbon and water neutrality, zerowaste to landfill, anti-microbial resistance stewardship and green chemistry.

Cipla’s project will support the green energy requirements for its manufacturing units located at Kurkumbh and Patalganga in Maharashtra.

This will also help the company in avoiding carbon dioxide emissions by as much as 35,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO₂e) per year over the project lifespan of 25 years.

In August 2018, Cipla had successfully implemented a third party solar open access through a long term power purchase agreement in Karnataka. It helped replacing 90 percent of energy sourcing for the company’s manufacturing units located in Virgonagar and Bommsandra for renewable power projects.
