UltraTech Cement has crossed the 2 GW milestone in captive green energy capacity, reaching a cumulative capacity of 2,024 MW. The company has achieved this milestone through a combination of renewable energy and Waste Heat Recovery Systems (WHRS), with green energy now meeting around 48% of its overall power requirements. UltraTech's total captive green energy portfolio currently comprises 1,580 MW of renewable energy capacity and 444 MW of WHRS capacity. Together, these sources supply approximately 48% of the company's current electricity requirements. UltraTech's green energy adoption is also increasing across its manufacturing network. According to the two sources, nearly one-third of the company's 76 manufacturing units in India are currently using green energy for more than 50% of their electricity requirements. Five units have crossed 95% green energy utilisation. UltraTech Cement has set a target to increase the share of green energy in its total power mix to 85% by 2030. The company is continuing to expand renewable energy, WHRS and battery storage capacity as part of its decarbonisation efforts.
The latest additions include 116.55 MW of wind power from an Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS)-connected wind-solar hybrid project in Barmer, Rajasthan, along with 10 MW of WHRS capacity at Sarlanagar Cement Works in Karnataka. Green Energy Capacity Reaches 2,024 MW
The company had 1,806 MW of captive green power capacity as of March 31, 2026, including 1,392 MW of renewable energy and 414 MW of WHRS. At that stage, green energy met around 41% of its power requirements. Nearly One-Third of Units Use Over 50% Green Energy
The company also commissioned 430 MW of green energy capacity during FY26 and is integrating Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) across its operations to improve renewable energy utilisation and supply reliability.UltraTech Targets 85% Green Power by 2030
The 2 GW milestone highlights UltraTech's growing reliance on renewable energy and waste heat recovery to reduce dependence on conventional power sources while supporting its long-term energy and decarbonisation goals.FAQs
