SSCL Expands Solar Power Capacity at Rajasthan Facility

Saboo Sodium Chloro Limited (SSCL) has announced the expansion of its captive solar power plant at its Nawa refinery located in Sambhar Lake, Rajasthan. The company is adding 150 kW of solar capacity to its existing 500 kW facility, raising the total capacity to 650 kW.

EKAM GREEN VENTURES LLP has been appointed as the EPC contractor for this project, which is expected to be operational within ten days. The expansion is anticipated to yield annual energy cost savings of approximately ₹40 lakhs (₹4 million).

This enhanced solar capacity will enable the refinery to fulfill a larger share of its energy needs through renewable sources, thereby bolstering SSCL's sustainability initiatives and operational efficiency. The project also supports government green energy goals by contributing to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

Established in 1993, SSCL is a prominent salt manufacturer in North India, and its shares are listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
