National, December 2025: Mafatlal Industries Limited (MIL), the flagship of the Arvind Mafatlal Group and one of India’s oldest and most respected textile institutions, has partnered with Kosol Energie to commission a state-of-the-art 4 MW solar power project at its Nadiad manufacturing facility. This initiative marks a significant step in the company’s long-term transition to clean energy, reinforcing its commitment to future-ready, responsible, and energy-efficient manufacturing.
Commenting on the launch, Mr. Priyavrata Mafatlal, Managing Director of Mafatlal Industries Limited, said, “At Mafatlal Industries, sustainability has never been a new direction; it has always been part of our DNA. For over a century, we have believed that responsible progress is the only progress that lasts. This solar initiative strengthens that belief and marks an important step in how we prepare our business for the future. Clean energy, efficient manufacturing, and long-term value creation are not goals we pursue occasionally; they are principles we live by every day. This project reflects our commitment to building a more resilient future for our industry and for India.”
Mr. Kalpesh Kalthia, Chairman & Managing Director, Kosol Energie Private Limited, commented, “We are honoured to partner with Mafatlal Industries—an institution that represents over a century of Indian industrial excellence. This 4 MW solar project is more than an energy installation; it reflects a shared vision for a cleaner and more responsible manufacturing future. At Kosol Energie, our mission is to empower industries with reliable, high performance solar solutions, and this collaboration stands as a testament to the growing trust in our technology and engineering capabilities.”
For over a century, Mafatlal has embedded sustainable thinking into the heart of its business, long before ESG became a formal framework. This legacy of responsibility now enters a new phase with the commissioning of this solar project, which stands as a powerful testament to the Group’s commitment to building a resilient, energy-secure, and environmentally conscious future for Indian textiles.
The planned ground-mounted solar project is estimated to deliver approximately 6.5 million units of clean energy annually. This will substantially cut dependence on conventional grid electricity, enhance energy efficiency, and contribute meaningfully to Mafatlal’s decarbonization goals. By integrating renewable power at scale, the company reinforces its belief that sustainability is not an obligation, but an essential driver of competitiveness and long-term value creation.
The Nadiad facility, home to a multigenerational workforce and one of the company’s largest production centres, has long been central to Mafatlal’s growth journey. Over the years, the company has also advanced several sustainability practices, including responsible water use, improved waste management, and cleaner manufacturing processes.
The new solar project builds on this legacy by providing long-term energy stability, improving operational efficiency, and reducing the facility’s environmental footprint. With this milestone, Mafatlal Industries reinforces its position as a heritage brand that continues to evolve with purpose, combining innovation with responsibility and growth with sustainable impact.
