India: KHS Expands Renewable Energy Capacity with New Solar Plant in India

KHS has commissioned a new photovoltaic system at its production site in Ahmedabad, India, marking another milestone in the company’s decarbonisation strategy. The solar installation has a capacity of 750.2 kWp and is expected to generate around 1,100 MWh of renewable electricity annually.

According to KHS, the new facility will cover approximately 80 percent of the site’s energy demand and reduce indirect CO₂ emissions from purchased electricity (Scope 2) by up to 1,000 tonnes per year. The company plans to further expand the system by 2028, aiming to achieve full energy self-sufficiency at the site.

The investment forms part of KHS’s broader sustainability strategy, which targets net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and a 36 percent reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2028. The Ahmedabad plant, one of KHS’s key international production hubs, also serves as a model for resource efficiency through comprehensive energy and water management programmes.
