Mangalam Worldwide Limited Boosts Solar Capacity to 11.6 MW, Pivoting Towards Green Manufacturing
Mangalam Worldwide Limited (MWL), a prominent stainless steel and specialized manufacturing enterprise, has significantly expanded its renewable energy footprint with the successful commissioning of a new ground-mounted solar plant. The strategic move strengthens operational independence and enhances export readiness across global infrastructure markets.The company announced that the integration of the new 10.4 MW ground-mounted captive solar power project at its Halol ecosystem brings MWL's total operational solar capacity to 11.6 MW, combining it with existing 1.2 MW rooftop installations. This expansion represents a deliberate strategic shift for the manufacturing firm, moving beyond incremental additions toward securing a long-term energy strategy.
The unified 11.6 MW solar footprint is projected to deliver substantial environmental and operational benefits. Annually, the facility is expected to offset over 12,500 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide ($\text{CO}_2$), which will structurally reduce the carbon intensity of MWL’s steel melting and tubular manufacturing operations.
Operationally, substituting conventional grid electricity with captive solar power projects a significant reduction in electricity costs by 20% to 40%. This capital investment is crucial for safeguarding the company's financial stability against potential future fluctuations in utility pricing, given that steel and engineering manufacturing are highly energy-intensive processes.
MWL recorded strong performance in Financial Year 2026, reporting a revenue of approximately ₹1,215 crore. The renewable energy transition complements this financial strength as the company continues to cater to both domestic buyers and international markets, with export operations spanning 20 European countries.
Management highlighted the significance of the milestone, stating that crossing the 11.6 MW threshold signifies a structural transformation in how industrial assets are powered. According to Chandragupt Prakash Mangal, Managing Director, renewable energy is no longer just an ESG metric but a vital component of manufacturing competitiveness. This commitment secures low-cost, predictable, and green power, positioning MWL as a preferred partner meeting global sustainability standards within the stainless-steel industry.
The company's current operational footprint includes four plants across Gujarat (Halol, Changodar, and Kapadvanj), with facilities covering over 1,25,000 square meters and having an installed capacity exceeding 1,90,000 MTPA.
