EUROBOND Commissions 2.2 MW Captive Solar Plant in Surat, Takes Total Capacity to 3.6 MW

EUROBOND has commissioned a 2.2 MW grid-connected captive solar plant in Surat, increasing its total solar capacity to 3.6 MW and enabling it to meet 50 percent of its factory's power requirements through renewable energy.

EUROBOND, the flagship brand of Euro Panel Products, has commenced operations at its new 2.2 MW grid-connected solar facility in Moti Falod, Surat. This launch completes the third phase of a multi-year energy expansion, bringing the company's total operational capacity to 3.6 MW.

This new infrastructure allows EUROBOND to offset 50 percent of its total factory power requirements through captive solar energy, an aggressive scale-up from its previous 20 percent offset capability, the company stated.

The plant is designed to generate 30 lakh units of clean electricity annually. This generated power is used to offset the facility's overall energy consumption, significantly cutting reliance on conventional power grids and directly eliminating the carbon emissions associated with traditional coal-based electricity. This transition began with an initial 520 kW installation in 2020, expanded to 1.4 MW in 2024, and now reaches this major 50 percent offset milestone with the latest facility fully online, the company informed.

This energy capacity expansion directly complements the company's broader resource conservation practices, specifically its Zero Liquid Discharge operations. In addition to solar power generation, EUROBOND operates in-house sewage and effluent treatment facilities that have reclaimed over 1,322,500 litres of treated water over the last six months alone. This treated water is utilised for site gardening, greenbelt maintenance, and general facility requirements, ensuring zero industrial wastewater leaves the premises, claimed the company.

It further added that as green building frameworks under the Indian Green Building Council place greater emphasis on supply chain transparency, developers and architects are actively seeking low-carbon building materials. EUROBOND's operational clean energy setup and water reclamation systems offer architects and project planners clear environmental benchmarks, making it simpler for commercial and residential developments to achieve their green building certifications.

Divyam Shah, Whole Time Director and CFO of Euro Panel Products, highlighted the strategic importance of the installation, “Sustainability has always been embedded in EUROBOND's culture and the way we approach manufacturing. Every investment we make in renewable energy and resource conservation reflects our long-term commitment to building a more responsible and resilient business. Expanding our captive solar infrastructure to 3.6 MW is an important milestone in that journey, strengthening our ability to manufacture more efficiently while reducing our carbon footprint and conserving natural resources.”

The commissioning of the Surat plant forms part of EUROBOND's ongoing investments into overall manufacturing standards. Alongside its Extended Producer Responsibility compliance and Indian Green Building Council membership, the company recently expanded its in-house laboratory's NABL accreditation scope from 16 to 51 parameters covering coil, coating, core, ACP, and MCP. Together, these infrastructure updates establish a transparent and data-backed operational footprint, stated the company.
