Apple’s ₹100 crore CleanMax deal adds 150 MW renewable capacity in India

**Apple will invest ₹100 crore with CleanMax to build over 150 MW of renewable power in India, enough for roughly 150,000 homes, while noting a >60% drop in its global emissions since 2015.

Apple’s latest move expands its clean‑energy push in India, a market where the company sources components and assembles products. The tech giant has been working with local renewable developers for years to power its offices and stores.

The partnership with CleanMax builds on earlier rooftop solar projects and aims to add utility‑scale capacity that can feed into the grid, supporting Apple’s supply chain and broader sustainability goals.

Apple says the ₹100 crore investment will generate more than 150 MW of renewable electricity, which it estimates can meet the annual power needs of about 150,000 Indian households.

The company also reports that its global greenhouse‑gas emissions have fallen by more than 60 % compared with 2015 levels, even as revenue and product lines have grown.

For India, the new capacity adds to the country’s renewable target of 500 GW by 2030 and helps reduce reliance on fossil‑fuel‑based power in industrial corridors where Apple’s suppliers operate.

Apple’s continued emissions cut shows that large‑scale manufacturing can decouple growth from carbon output, a point that investors and regulators are watching closely.

Analysts will monitor whether Apple scales similar deals with other Indian renewable developers and how the added capacity influences its supplier‑wide clean‑energy targets.
