Jindal Stainless & AB Energia Launch Odisha's Largest Captive Solar Plant

Jindal Stainless announced the installation and commissioning of a solar energy project at Jindal Stainless manufacturing unit in Jajpur, Odisha. This ground-breaking initiative boasts a cumulative capacity of over 30 MWp, making it the largest captive solar energy plant within a single industrial campus in Odisha.

The solar energy plant installed by Jindal Stainless at its Jajpur unit in partnership with AB Energia comprises a 7.324 MW floating solar plant and a 23.02 MWp rooftop solar system. The plant can generate approximately 44.3 million units (MU) of green energy annually, significantly reducing the Jajpur unit’s dependence on conventional grid electricity. This is equivalent to powering 12,000-15,000 households or cutting CO2 emissions by 32,208 metric tonnes annually.

Jindal Stainless’ Jajpur unit now hosts Odisha’s largest captive green energy generation plant, marking a significant step toward sustainable industrial practices. In collaboration with AB Energia, the project combines scale with innovation, featuring a 7.324 MWp floating solar plant ingeniously deployed on an internal reservoir. This not only generates clean energy but also reduces water evaporation by transforming previously unused water bodies into productive assets. Additionally, a 23.02 MWp rooftop solar system has been installed across 10 industrial roofs at varying elevations, maximising space utilisation and energy output. The initiative is expected to reduce CO? emissions by 32,208 metric tonnes annually, equivalent to planting approximately 1,288 trees each year, substantially cutting the facility’s reliance on conventional grid electricity.

Managing Director of Jindal Stainless, Abhyuday Jindal, said, “At Jindal Stainless, we’re accelerating our progress towards achieving our Net Zero goals and investing in sustainable infrastructure through strategic partnerships. The commissioning of Odisha’s largest captive solar energy plant at our Jajpur facility is a major leap in this journey. We are redefining the future of stainless steel manufacturing in India by integrating innovative renewable energy solutions and staying accountable to global sustainability standards.”

“Delivering this landmark project at Jindal Stainless’ Jajpur facility exemplifies AB Energia’s commitment to pioneering sustainable energy solutions. We are setting new benchmarks for green innovation in India’s industrial sector by transforming unused water bodies into productive assets and optimising rooftop spaces. By enabling a transition away from fossil fuels and toward renewable sources, projects like this drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance operational efficiency, cost stability, and long-term competitiveness for industrial players. As demand for low-carbon ‘green steel’ rises globally, such initiatives position Indian industry at the forefront of sustainable manufacturing, ensuring resilience and relevance in a rapidly evolving market landscape," said Siddharth Bhatia, Managing Director, AB Energia Solutions Pvt. Ltd.

AB Energia Solutions Pvt. Ltd. is a leading innovator in the solar EPC segment, dedicated to driving India’s clean energy transition and supporting the nation’s ambitious target of achieving 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.

It has also committed to investing Rs 700 crore in multiple decarbonisation projects over the next five years.
