Aequs SEZ in Belagavi reaches nearly 100% renewable energy for aerospace manufacturing

The Aequs Special Economic Zone in Belagavi, India, has shifted to nearly 100% renewable energy, powering its aerospace cluster through rooftop solar, open-access renewables, and green grid power. The campus hosts over 35 companies and claims a 30% cost saving for tenants alongside a major cut in carbon footprint. Parts now travel under 500 meters instead of 5,000 km, reducing logistics emissions. This model shows how industrial zones can integrate renewables at scale without sacrificing reliability. The same approach is being applied at Aequs clusters in Hubballi and Koppal. For anyone tracking industrial decarbonization in India, this is a concrete example of what's possible when infrastructure is designed around clean energy from the start.
