Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], June 14: As the world races toward carbon net-zero by 2050, companies like Vaibhav Global Limited (VGL) are taking carbon emission seriously by launching a company owned and operated solar power plant. The solar power generated will now power two of the company’s primary manufacturing facilities. Surplus power will also be distributed to local community resources.
VGL’s solar journey started in 2014 with the installation of rooftop solar power panels in one of the Jaipur manufacturing plants.

These efforts are to pursue continuous improvement in energy and emissions-related greenhouse gases. The recently added plant takes VGL’s solar power capacity to 3.23 MW and will address 100% of the Company’s power requirements for two of the Jaipur manufacturing facilities.

Each of these projects is progress,” Says Sunil Agrawal, Managing Director of VGL Global, “Our teams are continuously looking for innovative ways to reduce our carbon footprint.
