With the installation of the solar panels, we are one step closer
to reducing our carbon footprint and embracing renewable
energy solutions, said JCBL Managing Director Rishi Aggarwal
after inaugurating the first phase of the project.

According to him, the total project capacity will be 1,500 KW,

costing ₹6 crore. On completion, the project will produce 7,500
units of electricity daily, surpassing the plant’s daily
consumption needs.

JML is expected to generate approximately 1,500 units of

electricity daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. with the first phase of the
project. It is poised to meet 50% of the unit’s daytime power
requirements.

The excess power generated will be sold externally, contributing

to additional revenue streams for the company and further
solidifying its commitment to sustainable practices.
