UltraTech Cement has crossed a major milestone in its clean energy transition, with its cumulative installed green energy capacity reaching 2,024 MW. The achievement makes UltraTech the first cement company in India to commission more than 2 GW of green energy capacity for captive use.
The milestone follows the commissioning of 116.55 MW of wind capacity at the company’s Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS)-connected wind-solar hybrid project in Barmer, Rajasthan. UltraTech has also commissioned 10 MW of Waste Heat Recovery System (WHRS) capacity at Sarlanagar Cement Works in Karnataka.
UltraTech’s current green energy portfolio comprises 1,580 MW of renewable energy capacity and 444 MW of WHRS capacity. Together, these sources meet around 48% of the company’s current power requirements.
The company commissioned 430 MW of green energy capacity during FY26 and is progressively integrating Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) across its operations to improve renewable energy utilisation and supply reliability.
UltraTech has also been increasing the use of green energy across its manufacturing network. In FY27 so far, nearly one-third of its 76 manufacturing units in India have maintained green energy utilisation above 50% of their electricity requirements, with five units exceeding 95%.
The company aims to increase the share of green energy in its total power mix to 85% by 2030. As a member of RE100, UltraTech has also committed to meeting 100% of its electricity requirements through renewable sources by 2050.
