Apple to invest Rs 100 crore in India renewable energy expansion

Smartphone maker Apple has announced an ‘initial investment’ of Rs 100 crore towards building renewable energy in India, under which the company will develop more than 150 MW of green energy capacity.

Under its initiative to expand renewable energy infrastructure, reduce plastic pollution, and foster green entrepreneurship in India, Apple has partnered with renewable energy developer CleanMax to support the drive.

“At Apple, our commitment to the environment is also a driving force for innovation — across the company and around the world,” said Sarah Chandler, Apple’s vice president of Environment and Supply Chain Innovation. “We’re proud to expand our efforts to invest in India’s clean energy economy and protect the country’s precious natural resources.”

Apple had previously collaborated with CleanMax on a portfolio of rooftop solar projects to help power its offices and retail stores in India with 100 per cent renewable energy.
