Westlife Foodworld Ltd., owner of McDonald's restaurants in West and South India, will progressively install rooftop solar panels on one-third of its new restaurants in FY24.

We recognise the critical role that businesses must play in addressing climate change and we are proud to walk the talk. With each step, we are becoming stronger in our fight against climate change. We look forward to continuing our efforts towards a greener future and to serving our customers with delicious and sustainable food.”
