Motherson commissions 15 MW captive solar plant in Uttar Pradesh to cut carbon emissions

Motherson New Energy Limited has switched on its first ground-mounted captive solar project in Mahoba, Uttar Pradesh. The 15 MWp facility is expected to generate around 23.4 GWh of renewable electricity each year and reduce CO2 emissions by roughly 17,000 metric tons annually. The power will supply multiple Motherson manufacturing plants across the state, helping the group lower its carbon footprint and stabilize long-term energy costs. The project was developed with support from ib vogt, which handled land acquisition, regulatory approvals, technical design, and EPC execution. This is a concrete step in Motherson's broader strategy to integrate renewables across its global manufacturing footprint. The company says it is evaluating additional renewable energy opportunities in other Indian states. For anyone tracking industrial decarbonization in India, this project shows how group captive solar can deliver measurable emission reductions while improving energy resilience for manufacturing operations. The partnership with ib vogt also highlights the role of specialized developers in bringing such projects to completion.
