Asahi India Glass Ltd (AIS), a leading integrated glass and window solutions provider, has signed a managed hybrid power supply and energy management agreement with Adani Energy Solutions Ltd (AESL), marking a significant step in its renewable energy journey across multiple manufacturing sites.
Under the arrangement, AESL’s commercial and industrial (C&I) arm will oversee a hybrid power mandate of approximately 15.50 crore units annually to support AIS’s electricity needs at its facilities in Bawal (Haryana), Roorkee (Uttarakhand), and Patan (Gujarat). Of this volume, nearly 11 crore units will be sourced from renewable energy.
The agreement is expected to increase the share of renewable power in AIS’s overall energy mix to around 70 per cent, up from about 30 per cent earlier, positioning the company among the country’s leading industrial users of clean energy. By combining renewable and conventional power within a single managed framework, the initiative aims to reduce emissions, improve cost visibility, and strengthen long-term energy reliability.
Officials said the transition to greener power is likely to cut carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 72,300 metric tonnes each year—an environmental impact comparable to planting over 36 lakh trees. Beyond sustainability gains, the managed structure is also expected to enhance operational efficiency by allowing AIS to focus on core manufacturing while AESL handles power optimisation, supply reliability, and energy cost management under defined service-level agreements.
The mandate follows AESL’s earlier C&I renewable energy partnership with RSWM Ltd of the LNJ Bhilwara Group, announced in November 2025, reflecting the company’s growing presence in managed energy solutions for industrial customers.
AESL’s C&I vertical currently delivers tailored power solutions to large electricity consumers across sectors including cement, chemicals, textiles, and automotive manufacturing. The platform has built an aggregate demand portfolio of more than 1,300 megawatts across over three dozen companies and is targeting a C&I capacity of 7,000 MW over the next five years.
Industry experts point out that stronger sustainability targets, open-access regulations, and the improving economics of renewable power are encouraging enterprises to move away from traditional distribution-company models toward specialised energy solution providers. As of 2025, renewable energy procurement by C&I consumers in India has crossed 30 gigawatts, growing at a compound annual rate of 22 per cent between 2020 and 2024.
