Vadodara, June 1 : Greenply Industries Limited has commissioned its second Power Purchase Agreement at the Vadodara manufacturing facility, drawing electricity from a mix of renewable sources. With the commissioning of the second renewable energy asset, close to 80% of the Vadodara facility’s total energy consumption is now supported through renewable energy sources, significantly strengthening the plant’s clean energy footprint while enhancing long-term energy security and operational efficiency.
With the operationalisation of the second asset, Greenply now sources a substantially higher share of its electricity requirements from renewable energy at the Vadodara facility. The development reflects the company’s continued focus on building environmentally conscious manufacturing operations while steadily reducing its carbon footprint.
India’s industrial sector faces mounting pressure to decarbonise, even as grid electricity costs remain unpredictable. While clean energy adoption has become a wider priority across manufacturing industries, Greenply began integrating sustainability-led operational practices and clean technology solutions much earlier as part of its long-term manufacturing vision. Greenply’s approach at Vadodara, combining renewable procurement with in-plant EV mobility and other environmentally responsible practices, reflects this broader commitment. The renewable energy assets support round-the-clock power generation aligned with the plant’s real-time consumption requirements, helping improve energy reliability, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and create greater predictability in long-term power costs. The initiative also aligns with the broader direction of India’s transition towards cleaner and more sustainable industrial growth.
Commenting on the development, Sanidhya Mittal, Joint Managing Director, Greenply Industries Limited, said,
“Sustainability at Greenply isn’t a box we tick, it’s built into how we make decisions about manufacturing, growth, and where we invest. The second renewable asset at Vadodara reflects our continued effort to build manufacturing operations that are more resilient, energy efficient, and environmentally responsible. Every step towards cleaner energy strengthens our ability to build more future-ready manufacturing operations while contributing meaningfully to long-term environmental and economic sustainability. As more Indian manufacturers accelerate their sustainability efforts, we remain focused on building systems and practices that can create meaningful long-term impact.”
This latest step sits alongside a broader innovation story at Greenply. The company was among the first in India to introduce E0-level plywood manufactured with zero added formaldehyde and has also been an early mover in fire-retardant technology for premium wood panel products. The common thread across these initiatives is a consistent focus on raising industry benchmarks ahead of evolving market expectations.
