For many industrial consumers with high power requirements, the lack of adequate rooftop space often restricts the benefits they can harness from on-site solar projects. With solar parks, such companies can set up larger projects off-site and use the generated power to reduce their electricity costs.

Harmony Plastics and Plasti Weave Industries, part of the Mewar Polytex Group,  have installed 2.5 MW and 3 MW solar projects, respectively, at the SafEarth UGVCL-1 solar park in Himatnagar, Gujarat.

The installation was done by SafEarth Renewables.

The Mewar Group has a diversified product portfolio including polypropylene and high-density polyethylene-based woven and non-woven fabrics, bags and shoe covers.

Rising power consumption and a lack of adequate rooftop space drove Harmony Plastics and Plasti Weave to opt for ground-mounted projects.

The two projects were developed under the capital expenditure captive model at a combined cost of approximately ₹75 million (~$$783,700).

Harmony Plastics

Before switching to solar solutions, Harmony Plastics used to incur electricity expenses between ₹15 million (~$157,240) and ₹25 million (~$262,070) annually.

The 2.5 MW solar project now meets around 35% to 40% of the company’s electricity requirements.

According to the installer, the project is expected to generate average annual savings of ₹13.5 million (~$141,520) to ₹16.5 million (~$172,970) over the project life.

It will have an estimated payback period of three to four years.

The plant generates an average of about 312,500 units of electricity a month, which powers industrial machinery, lighting, and other regular loads at the company’s facilities.

The project uses 550 Wp Goldi Solar‘s Mono-PERC bifacial modules and 225 kW Sineng’s string inverters.

Plasti Weave

Plasti Weave Industries’ 3 MW solar project meets about 50% of the company’s electricity demand.

Before installing the solar project, Plasti Weave’s annual electricity bill was approximately ₹60 million (~$628,970). According to the installer, the project is expected to deliver average annual savings of about ₹22.5 million (~$235,860) over the project life

With a daily generation of 13,500 units, the project is expected to yield payback in about three to four years.

The project uses Goldi’s 550 Wp mono bifacial modules and Sineng inverters.

In June, SafeEarth commissioned a 202.96 kW rooftop solar system for Kerala-based Green Worms Waste Management, which is expected to save the company approximately ₹600,000 (~$6,357) annually in electricity expenses.

To raise awareness about the benefits of solar projects, Mercom India hosts a pan-India C&I Clean Energy Meet series, bringing renewable energy developers and commercial and industrial power consumers together to discuss clean energy adoption. The next event in the series will be held in Hyderabad on August 21, 2026.
