Mumbai-headquartered renewable energy solutions provider Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions (CleanMax) will supply wind-solar hybrid energy to Shell India’s assets across Gujarat and Karnataka from its 30 MW of projects.

CleanMax is developing a 16.83 MW hybrid renewable energy project in Gujarat under a group captive model, comprising 6.93 MW of solar and 9.9 MW of wind capacity. This project will supply power to Shell’s LNG terminal at Hazira.

The company is also developing a 13.2 MW hybrid project in Karnataka, which consists of 9.9 MW of solar capacity in Jagalur and 3.3 MW of wind capacity in Honawad. This project will supply power to the Shell Technology Centre in Bengaluru.

Both companies will co-invest in the development of these hybrid renewable energy projects.

Kuldeep Jain, Managing Director at CleanMax, said, “Commercial and industrial (C&I) consumers account for nearly half of India’s electricity demand, making corporates key to the country’s energy transition. Long-term, tailored, renewable solutions will therefore play a critical role in enabling businesses to reduce carbon intensity while ensuring reliability and cost stability.”

Recently, textile company Sangam India announced it would procure hybrid renewable energy from a project of CleanMax to support the decarbonization of industrial operations across Rajasthan.

This March, polyester film company Polyplex announced it would procure power from solar projects of Clean Max Neht, a special purpose vehicle of CleanMax, and projects of BECIS Solar 1, an SPV of Berkeley Energy Commercial Industrial Solutions, for its plants in Khatima and Bazpur, Uttarakhand.

C&I consumers remain the single largest category of electricity users in India, accounting for nearly 42% of total electricity consumption in recent years. This dominance is most pronounced in open access power-friendly states such as Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Rajasthan, which host large industrial clusters.

Mercom India hosts C&I Clean Energy Meets across India, designed to encourage businesses to transition to renewable energy, including solar, for their operations and connect energy buyers directly with top-tier solar suppliers. The next event in the series will be held in Jodhpur on May 15, 2026.
