Rachana Construction Ltd. Develops 25 MW Solar Power Plant in Maharashtra

Rachana Construction Limited (RCL) has announced a major milestone with the development of a 25 MW solar power plant in Dharashiv, Maharashtra.

The solar plant, designed to operate for 25 years, will contribute to India’s clean energy transition by reducing carbon emissions and boosting the local economy through job creation and technological advancements.

Highlighting the importance of the project, Sujit Dattatray Mule, Managing Director of RCL, stated, "This project - an example of what is manifest in our vision of sustainable development aligned with international efforts against climate change, it demonstrates our single-minded dedication to innovative solutions that are guaranteed to create long-lasting value for communities and a greener future."

The state-of-the-art PV modules and smart monitoring system, powered by the Internet of Things (IOT) and AI, will ensure operational efficiency with minimum downtime at the plant. The plant is expected to cut down carbon dioxide emissions to about 35,000 to 40,000 metric tons a year and about 1 million metric tons during its lifetime, equivalent to the removal of thousands of cars from the streets every year.

Around 200-300 temporary jobs will be created during construction, such as engineers, technicians, and laborers, while once operational, the plant will give 30-50 permanent jobs. Moreover, the local suppliers will benefit as well, while the enhanced energy infrastructure will assist the development of the region.

RCL's ambition to manage large-scale infrastructure projects was important in securing this initiative. The estimated financial aspect of the project shows up at between INR 125 and INR 175 crores, barking out RCL's financial base and managerial foresight. With its focus on renewable energy, the company is well-poised to expand its portfolio in the sector, attracting new partnerships and opportunities both in India and internationally.
