CEAT Partners with CleanMax to Procure 59 MW Hybrid RE Power in Gujarat and Tamil Nadu
CEAT has partnered with CleanMax to source about 59 MW wind-solar hybrid power under a group captive model for the tyre manufacturer’s Halol facility in Gujarat and Kanchipuram facility in Tamil Nadu. The projects are expected to generate about 13.58 crore units of renewable electricity annually, taking CEAT’s clean power intake to around 60 percent.

The hybrid structure of these projects is expected to combine the complementary generation profiles of wind and solar, ensuring a consistent energy output and higher plant load factor (PLF), said CleanMax in a statement, further adding that this approach also enhances grid stability, which is critical for energy-intensive manufacturing operations.
Together, the projects are expected to generate about 13.58 crore units of clean power annually. This generation is anticipated to reduce CO₂ emissions by around 1,00,000 tonnes per year, equivalent to the plantation of nearly 4.5 million trees annually. The project is expected to increase CEAT’s clean power content to around 60 percent.
Commenting on the development, Kuldeep Jain, Managing Director, Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions, said, “We are proud to collaborate with CEAT, a globally recognised brand in the automotive sector, and support its strategic sustainability objectives by enabling the decarbonisation of operations across its key manufacturing hubs. These projects demonstrate how well-structured collaborations can accelerate the adoption of renewable energy and build a more sustainable energy future for large-scale manufacturing.”
Roopesh R., Senior Vice President – Procurement, CEAT, remarked, “This long-term partnership with CleanMax allows CEAT to strengthen our renewable energy footprint across Gujarat and Tamil Nadu. Sustainability is an important part of how we plan for the long term, and CEAT is committed to growing our business that serves our customers responsibly while remaining resilient for the future.”
He further added, “As a company already advancing in areas such as green sourcing, sustainable transportation, biodegradable packaging, sustainable manufacturing and reduced distribution emissions, integrating this hybrid wind-solar renewable energy is a natural and strategic progression in our sustainability journey. These hybrid projects will bring cost efficiencies at our key manufacturing facilities and will help us in our journey to produce tyres with a low carbon footprint – and be a benchmark in the industry.”
This synergy enables CEAT to advance its sustainability goals while leveraging CleanMax’s proven expertise in delivering renewable energy for the C&I sector. The partnership is expected to strengthen CEAT’s energy security, improve operational efficiency, and contribute to significant annual reductions in carbon emissions, enabling its long-term journey towards net-zero operations, the company stated.
