Swaraj Tractors, part of the Mahindra Group, has teamed up with Mahindra Susten, the Group’s clean-tech division, to create Punjab’s largest solar group captive project. The 26 MW solar power plant, located in Bathinda district, is a significant step toward Swaraj Tractors’ goal of sourcing up to 50% of its energy from renewable sources.
The project, developed by Mahindra Susten, will provide clean energy to four Swaraj Tractor manufacturing plants in Mohali and Dera Bassi. It is expected to produce around 60 million kWh of clean energy every year and help cut down approximately 54,600 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. This initiative reflects Mahindra Group’s strong commitment to sustainability and climate action, setting a new benchmark for green energy use in the tractor manufacturing industry.
Hemant Sikka, President of the Farm Equipment Sector at Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, said, “This solar project is a significant step in integrating green energy at a large scale in India’s tractor manufacturing sector. It supports our vision of transforming farming and building a sustainable future.”
Gaganjot Singh, CEO of Swaraj Division, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, remarked, “This project highlights our dedication to a cleaner, greener future. With Mahindra Susten’s expertise, we are confident that we will meet our renewable energy goals and contribute to Punjab’s energy landscape.”
The project also marks Mahindra Susten’s expansion into Punjab, strengthening its position as a leading renewable energy Independent Power Producer (IPP). Deepak Thakur, Managing Director and CEO of Mahindra Susten, stated, “We are committed to providing efficient, clean energy solutions to the commercial and industrial sectors. This partnership with Swaraj Tractors aims to speed up the adoption of green energy and help India transition to a renewable future.”
The Mahindra Group, known for adopting 100% renewable energy, continues to lead in sustainability and innovation. Swaraj Tractors, India’s second-largest and fastest-growing tractor brand, was founded in 1974 in Punjab, the country’s agricultural heart. With tractors ranging from 15 HP to 65 HP, Swaraj is focused on providing powerful, high-performance tractors designed by farmers for farmers, with a commitment to advancing farming solutions and horticulture mechanization.
