RMC Green Energy Pvt Ltd, a subsidiary of RMC Switchgears Limited, has received approval from the Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation to set up a 50 MW renewable energy generation facility. This is part of a wider plan to increase power generation capacity from renewable sources.
The project is part of the company’s strategy to strengthen its presence in the Indian energy sector, focusing on exploiting the region’s solar resources.
The 50 MW initiative represents a crucial step in the deployment of RMC’s production capacities.
The company relies on large-scale projects to meet growing energy needs while affirming its role as a leader in green energy.
This new infrastructure in Rajasthan plays a central role in the acceleration of RMC’s energy transition.

Alignment with national objectives

The plant is designed to support India’s energy goals, which aim to significantly increase the share of renewable energies in the energy mix.
RMC Green Energy is actively contributing to these goals by integrating its projects into state policies, such as the Rajasthan Renewable Energy Policy 2023.
The initiative also diversifies the company’s energy sources and strengthens the country’s energy security.
The project is part of a wider national strategy to reduce dependence on fossil fuels while increasing renewable energy production capacity.
RMC continues to seek additional opportunities to expand its project portfolio and position itself as a key player in the sector.
