Commenting on the development, Neeraj Akhoury, Managing Director, Shree Cement said, “Sustainability is embedded in everything we do. The commissioning of the Roorkee solar plant is a testament to our commitment to reducing carbon emissions and building long-term energy resilience. Projects like this not only benefit the environment but also create local jobs and contribute to inclusive economic growth.”
Strategically located next to its existing cement operations, the plant marks a significant step forward in the company’s journey towards its RE100 targets and decarbonisation goals, the company said.
