Surat-based Borana Weaves, a manufacturer of unbleached synthetic greige fabrics used in dyeing, printing, home décor, fashion and technical textiles, has announced the commissioning of its 3.545 MW rooftop solar power project.

This initiative is expected to significantly reduce reliance on conventional power sources and improve cost efficiencies. With increasing integration of renewable energy, the company anticipates lower power costs, improved operating margins and greater energy cost stability, while also strengthening its sustainability initiatives, the company stated.

Rajkumar Borana, Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer of Borana Weaves, said, “We are pleased to announce the successful commissioning of our 3.545 MW rooftop solar power project along with the full operationalisation of 160 high-speed water jet looms at Unit 4B. These milestones significantly strengthen our integrated manufacturing capabilities, enhance production capacity and improve operational efficiency. The increased use of renewable energy is expected to optimise power costs and support margin expansion, while advanced looms enable higher throughput, better turnaround and improved cost competitiveness.”

Further, the company also announced that it has operationalised all 160 high-speed Water Jet (WJ) looms at Unit 4B. “Earlier, 64 looms had commenced production; the remaining looms are now installed and operating at full capacity,” it said.
