Rhetan TMT Begins Solar Power, Gains Government Order Access
Rhetan TMT makes steel bars in Gujarat.
It has started using electricity from a new solar project at its factory.
The solar project can produce one megawatt of power.
The company will use this power for its own manufacturing work.
This may help it manage energy costs because electricity is a large part of its expenses.
Rhetan TMT also received safety and quality certification for three higher-grade steel bars.
This certification allows the company to offer those products for government and public-sector projects.
Together, the solar power and certified products are intended to help the company become more efficient and serve more customers.
Rhetan TMT has begun generating electricity from a 1 MW captive solar project at its Kadi, Gujarat manufacturing facility.
The ground-mounted project supplies renewable electricity for the company’s own operations.
Energy represents nearly 20% of Rhetan TMT’s overall cost base, making cost management a key expected benefit.
The company received Bureau of Indian Standards certification for its Fe500D, Fe550 and Fe550D TMT bars.
The certification allows Rhetan TMT to supply these products for government and public-sector infrastructure projects across India.
