It significantly expands Gentari’s capacity to supply renewable electricity to consumers within Maharashtra under the state’s green open access framework.
Expected to generate approximately 248 million units (kWh) of green electricity annually, the plant enables industries across the state to tap into cleaner sources of energy, potentially achieving over 238,576 tonnes of CO₂ emissions avoidance each year.
With this commissioning, Gentari’s total capacity for the C&I sector in Maharashtra now exceeds 225 MWp, reinforcing its leadership in delivering scalable, reliable, clean energy solutions for industrial users in one of India’s most energy-intensive states.
“Maharashtra’s commercial and industrial consumers have been showing strong momentum in the shift to clean energy. This project supports that transition by providing reliable solar power at scale, unlocking both environmental and operational value,” said Sharad Pungalia, Country Head, India, Gentari.
Beyond environmental benefits, Wardha plant also generated significant socio-economic value during its construction, engaging over 300 local workers, deploying regional resources, and extended community outreach efforts to nearby villages.
The project forms part of Gentari’s broader clean energy portfolio in India and Asia Pacific, where it is advancing integrated solutions across solar, green hydrogen, and green mobility to accelerate the global energy transition.
