Analysis based on 12 articles · First reported Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026
The initiative strengthens Maruti Suzuki's sustainability profile, potentially enhancing its ESG rating and appeal to environmentally conscious investors. It also supports India's renewable energy goals, but the direct financial impact is minimal given the small scale of the project.
Maruti Suzuki India Limited commissioned a 1 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at its Kharkhoda manufacturing facility in Haryana. The system stores surplus solar power from a 20 MWp solar project installed in 2025, which previously went unused during facility holidays. The BESS will reduce nearly 54 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually over its 15-year lifecycle. Maruti Suzuki aims to cut Scope 1 & 2 CO2 emissions by 42% by FY 2030-31 compared to FY 2022-23, in line with Suzuki's environmental vision. The Kharkhoda facility meets 100% of its electricity requirements through renewable energy and operates as a zero liquid discharge plant. Solar capacity at the site is planned to scale to 70 MWp by 2030.
