Marking a major step in industrial decarbonisation, Asahi India Glass Ltd (AIS) has signed a managed hybrid power supply and energy management agreement with Adani Energy Solutions Ltd (AESL). The partnership supports AIS’s shift toward renewable energy across several manufacturing sites in India.
Under the agreement, AESL’s commercial and industrial (C&I) division will manage a hybrid power mandate of 15.50 crore units per year for AIS facilities in Bawal (Haryana), Roorkee (Uttarakhand), and Patan (Gujarat). Of this total, around 11 crore units will be sourced from renewable energy.
The deal will increase the share of renewable power in AIS’s total energy mix to about 70%, up from nearly 30% earlier. This positions AIS among India’s leading industrial users of clean energy. By combining renewable and conventional power through a single managed system, the agreement is expected to lower emissions, improve cost predictability, and strengthen long-term energy security.
The shift to green power is projected to cut carbon dioxide emissions by around 72,300 metric tonnes each year. This is equal to the environmental impact of planting more than 36 lakh trees. Officials said the move will also improve operational efficiency while supporting AIS’s sustainability goals.
As part of the mandate, AESL will manage the full power value chain under defined Service Level Agreement conditions. This includes supply optimisation, reliability assurance, and energy cost management. The structure allows industrial customers to focus on core manufacturing while receiving stable and efficient power supply.
The mandate follows AESL’s earlier C&I renewable energy partnership with RSWM Ltd of the LNJ Bhilwara Group in November 2025. AESL’s C&I platform provides customised power solutions to bulk consumers in sectors such as cement, chemicals, textiles, and automotive manufacturing. It has built an aggregate demand portfolio of more than 1,300 MW across about 36 companies and is targeting a portfolio of 7,000 MW over the next 5 years.
Market conditions remain favourable. By 2025, renewable energy procurement by C&I users in India has crossed 30 GW, growing at a CAGR of 22% between 2020 and 2024. Industry observers say sustainability targets, open access rules, and better cost competitiveness are pushing companies toward specialised energy solution providers.
