Apple Puts ₹100 Crore Into CleanMax To Build 150 MW Of New Renewable Power In India

The push advances Apple's 2030 carbon‑neutral target by adding dedicated clean power for its India supply chain.

Overview

  • Apple, which announced the plan Thursday, said the CleanMax co‑investment will add more than 150 megawatts of capacity, enough electricity for about 150,000 average Indian homes each year.
  • Apple framed the India program as part of its global 2030 goal and reported cutting its greenhouse‑gas emissions by more than 60 percent since 2015.
  • The company said the partnership could scale over the next few years as it seeks more renewable generation tied to operations and manufacturing in India.
  • Alongside power projects, Apple will fund WWF‑India to expand recovery‑focused recycling that builds on Saahas Zero Waste’s Goa model, with new facilities in regions including Coimbatore that track materials and reduce plastic leakage.
  • Through Acumen, Apple will back six early‑stage green firms with grants, mentorship, and technical help, while CleanMax brings scale with 570‑plus customers and a client mix where data centers and AI businesses account for about 42 percent of contracted volumes.
