Nuvoco and CleanMax Partner to Build Rajasthan Wind-Solar Hybrid Project

Nuvoco Vistas has partnered with CleanMax to develop a 46.4 MW wind-solar hybrid project at Bhikamkhore, Rajasthan, and will acquire a 26% stake in the project company. The facility will combine 20 MW of wind capacity, 26.4 MW of solar capacity and a 2-MWh battery storage system, with power delivered to Nuvoco’s cement operations through the State Transmission Utility’s open-access network. Once operational, it is expected to generate about 100 million units of electricity annually and avoid roughly 125,485 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year across Scope 1 and Scope 2. The companies say the project will increase renewable power use, reduce reliance on conventional energy and support long-term cost efficiency as part of Nuvoco’s decarbonization efforts.
The project is being structured as a 25-year build-operate-transfer captive arrangement, with CleanMax responsible for developing and operating the plant, allowing Nuvoco to secure renewable power without funding the full project itself.
The project builds on CleanMax’s existing presence in Rajasthan: the company has an operational portfolio of more than 525 MW of solar, wind and hybrid assets in the state, serving commercial and industrial clients.
Nuvoco’s decarbonisation work extends beyond renewable electricity: its programme also includes Waste Heat Recovery Systems, energy-efficiency measures and greater use of alternative fuels. Its DIRE agenda additionally covers circularity, water stewardship, biodiversity and resource-efficient manufacturing.
