Mumbai, India – June 09,2026 – Samvardhana Motherson International Limited, through its energy business company, Motherson New Energy Limited (MNEL), has commissioned its first ground-mounted captive solar power project in Uttar Pradesh via its subsidiary Onega Solar Private Limited. Located in Mahoba, the 15 MWp solar facility will supply clean, renewable energy to multiple Motherson manufacturing plants across the state, marking a significant milestone in the Group’s clean energy transition strategy.
Developed as a group captive renewable energy project, the solar plant is expected to generate approximately ~23.4 GWh of renewable electricity annually, reducing ~17000 MT of CO₂ emissions each year. The Project will help reduce the carbon footprint of Motherson’s manufacturing operations while improving long-term energy cost visibility, operational resilience, and access to reliable clean power.
The project represents an important step in Motherson’s strategy to integrate renewable energy across its global manufacturing footprint while strengthening long-term sustainability and energy security. The project has been developed in partnership with ib vogt, a leading international renewable energy development company, which supported the project during the development phase through land acquisition and regulatory approvals, followed by technical designing, and EPC execution.
Laksh Vaaman Sehgal, Vice Chairman, Motherson Group, said:
“Sustainability is embedded into how we think about long-term value creation at Motherson. The commissioning of our first captive solar project in Uttar Pradesh is an important milestone in strengthening our energy resilience while reducing our environmental footprint. This initiative reflects our commitment to building future-ready operations through responsible and sustainable growth.”
Kunal Vohra, COO, Energy Business, Motherson Group, said:
“Reliable access to competitively priced renewable power is becoming increasingly important for global manufacturing operations. This project establishes the foundation for scaling Motherson’s renewable energy portfolio while supporting operational resilience, sustainability goals and long-term energy competitiveness.”
Parish Gupta, CEO s Managing Director of ib vogt Solar India, commented:
“We are delighted to partner with Motherson on this landmark captive solar project in Uttar Pradesh. The project reflects a shared commitment towards accelerating industrial decarbonization through reliable and commercially viable renewable energy solutions. We look forward to supporting Motherson’s long-term energy transition journey across India.”
The project aligns with Motherson’s broader sustainability ambitions, including increasing renewable energy adoption, reducing carbon intensity across operations and supporting global customers in achieving their decarbonisation objectives. It also strengthens the Group’s energy diversification strategy through long-term access to reliable and cost-competitive clean power.
MNEL continues to evaluate additional renewable energy opportunities across multiple Indian states as part of the group’s long-term energy transition roadmap.
