SAEL Industries Ltd., a vertically integrated renewable energy company, through its subsidiary VCA Power Private Limited has commissioned 14.9 MW Agri Waste-to-Energy (AgWtE) plant in Bhadra, Rajasthan. This takes the total operational AgWtE capacity to 164.9 MW.
The power plant in Bhadra is backed by long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). The facility will process agricultural residues including paddy straw, mustard stubble, and cotton stalks with an aim of mitigating harmful emissions annually through clean power generation and creating employment opportunities across Rajasthan.
The company’s Rajasthan operations demonstrate biomass power’s strategic role in the state’s renewable energy mix, delivering environmental benefits alongside baseload generation.
Laxit Awla, CEO & executive director, SAEL Industries Ltd., said, “In the backdrop of progressive policy support, agricultural residue availability and rising clean energy demand, Rajasthan offers a strong enabling environment for scaling agri waste-to-energy. Our model tries to solve an on-ground challenge of surplus agricultural residue and converting it into reliable green power while creating value for farmers and rural communities.”
