Sunsure Energy, an independent power producer, signed an 11 MWp long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with JSL Super Steel, a Ghaziabad-based subsidiary of Jindal Stainless Limited, India’s largest stainless steel manufacturer. The agreement will supply 11 MWp of solar power from Sunsure’s 49 MWp Solar Project in Augasi, Uttar Pradesh, displacing nearly 40% of the facility's conventional energy consumption with clean power. This project aligns with Uttar Pradesh's State Power Banking Policy, supporting the state’s energy security and efficient power management goals.
Shrinivas Rao, CEO of Vestian, stated that the influx of new businesses and company expansions has led to significant demand for office spaces in India. Global firms are aggressively seeking office space in India due to robust economic growth, a rich demographic dividend, a large consumer base, rapid urbanization, and the easy availability of a skilled workforce at competitive rates, particularly in technology and finance. This demand is driving the need for high-quality office spaces.
Wholetime Director and Chief Operating Officer, Jindal Stainless, Jagmohan Sood said, “JSL Super Steel is delighted to partner with Sunsure Energy as another step in Jindal Stainless’ efforts to green our operations and achieve our Net Zero targets. This partnership is also a part of Jindal Stainless’ short-term goal of reducing 50% carbon emissions by 2035. By integrating renewable energy into our production processes, we are not only reducing our carbon footprint but also setting new benchmarks for the metal industry in India. As leaders in the stainless steel industry, we deem it our responsibility to usher in cleaner routes of production, such as the introduction of green hydrogen, use of biofuels, increasing renewable energy share from the grid, etc., at every step of the value chain.”
Shashank Sharma, Founder, Chairman and CEO, of Sunsure Energy, while speaking at the signing ceremony, said, “As industries align with India’s ambitious renewable energy targets, collaborations like this set a powerful precedent for responsible growth. Through this agreement, Jindal Stainless is leading the way for the metal industry in Uttar Pradesh by sourcing power from renewable sources, demonstrating that clean energy is not just an option but the future of industrial progress.
