LTD, Singapore), a leading renewable energy developer. This partnership marks a significant step for the Company towards establishing renewable energy power generation using hybrid open excess through solar and wind sources. It aims to access renewable energy through a captive arrangement, fulfilling the Company’s power requirements and meeting its increasing demand from green energy to power its manufacturing facilities at Gajraula, Uttar Pradesh, and Savli, Gujarat. This represents an important milestone in the Company’s sustainability journey by reducing dependence on non-renewable energy sources and reducing its carbon footprint.

An ESG leader, Jubilant Ingrevia started its sustainability journey in the early 2000s. It has been a top-ranking chemical company in ESG initiatives, like S&P DJSI, TFS, Ecovadis, CDP Climate Change program, and Responsible Care certification.
