Dredging Corporation of India commissions 150 kW solar rooftop plant
May-08-2026

Dredging Corporation of India has commissioned its 150 kW Solar Rooftop Plant at its Head Office, marking a significant step towards sustainable energy adoption and improved operational efficiency. Implemented under the Government of India's PM Surya Ghar Yojana, the project reflects the company's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint while achieving long-term cost efficiency.

The solar rooftop plant has an installed capacity of 150 kW and is expected to generate around 750 units of clean energy per day, translating to around 22,500 units per month and about 2.7 lakh units annually. This will result in an estimated savings of nearly Rs 2.5 lakh per month, amounting to around Rs 30 lakh annually, thereby significantly reducing the organization's dependence on conventional power sources.

In addition to financial savings, the project is expected to deliver substantial environmental benefits by avoiding around 220-240 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually. This is equivalent to planting over 10,000 trees or removing nearly 50 passenger vehicles from the roads each year, underscoring the project's positive environmental impact.

Dredging Corporation of India is fully equipped to offer the complete range of dredging and allied services to the users in India and abroad and to provide vital inputs for the national development.
