CleanMax Seals 30 MW Hybrid Renewable Deal with Shell India

In a fresh push toward corporate decarbonization, CleanMax and Shell India hybrid renewable energy partnership has taken shape with a 30 MW deal announced today.

Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions and Shell India will jointly develop hybrid power projects combining solar and wind to supply clean electricity to key Shell operations in India.

The agreement covers two sites. A project in Gujarat, with a capacity of about 16.83 MW, will supply power to Shell’s LNG terminal in Hazira.

Another project in Karnataka, around 13.2 MW, will cater to Shell’s Technology Centre in Bengaluru. Together, these installations bring the total to roughly 30 MW of hybrid renewable energy, designed to deliver more consistent output than standalone solar or wind systems.

The projects will operate under a group captive model, where both companies invest and share ownership. This setup allows Shell to secure long-term green power at stable costs while enabling CleanMax to expand its portfolio of corporate renewable solutions. The combination of solar generation during the day and wind support at other times is expected to reduce variability and improve reliability for energy-intensive operations.

"This enables critical operations across key markets to adopt cleaner energy, and to me, signals a crucial phase in corporate leadership – one where sustainability is integrated directly into core operational decision- making," said Kuldeep Jain, Managing Director, Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions Ltd.

This CleanMax Shell India hybrid renewable energy move reflects a broader shift among large corporations toward dependable clean power rather than intermittent sources. For Shell, it aligns with its global net-zero ambitions and ongoing efforts to lower emissions from its Indian operations. For CleanMax, the deal strengthens its position as a leading provider of renewable energy to commercial and industrial clients.

"Our collaboration with CleanMax reflects this approach across key facilities in Gujarat and Karnataka, supporting Shell's ongoing efforts to decarbonise its operations and be a trusted partner in India's energy transition roadmap," said Mansi Madan Tripathy, Chairperson, Shell Group of Companies India and SVP, Shell Lubricants, Asia Pacific.

As hybrid systems gain traction across India, partnerships like this signal how businesses are rethinking energy sourcing—balancing sustainability with operational stability in a rapidly evolving power landscape.
