Renewable energy firm SAEL Industries, through its subsidiary VCA Power Pvt Ltd, has commissioned a 14.9 MW Agri Waste-to-Energy (AgWtE) plant in Bhadra, Rajasthan.
This takes SAEL’s total operational AgWtE capacity to 164.9 MW, a company statement said.
The SAEL power plant in Bhadra is backed by a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
The facility will process agricultural residues, including paddy straw, mustard stubble, and cotton stalks, with an aim of mitigating harmful emissions annually through clean power generation and creating employment opportunities across Rajasthan.
The company’s Rajasthan operations demonstrate biomass’ strategic role in the state’s renewable energy mix, delivering environmental benefits alongside baseload generation.
Laxit Awla, CEO & Executive Director, SAEL Industries, said: “In the backdrop of progressive policy support, agricultural residue availability and rising clean energy demand, Rajasthan offers a strong enabling environment for scaling agri waste-to-energy.” SAEL Rajasthan AgWtE plants, including the new (14.9 MW) Bhadra facility alongside the company’s existing five facilities in Bhadra, Chhatargarh, Chirawa, Churu, and Sardarshahar, are well equipped with boilers which delivered up to 90.99 per cent operational efficiency (Plant Load Factor) in fiscal year 2024-25.
SAEL Industries Ltd (SIL) is an integrated renewable energy company with a presence in agri waste-to-energy, utility-scale solar, and solar module manufacturing.
