⚙️ Project Overview

Client: Pernod Ricard India Pvt. Ltd.

Location: Dera Bassi, Punjab

• Installed Capacity: 100 kW
• System Type: Rooftop Grid-Tied Solar PV
• EPC Partner: Ekam Energy
• Technology Partner: Tata Power Solar

The 100 kW solar plant now contributes clean, renewable energy to Pernod Ricard’s operations, marking a significant step in their sustainability journey.

🌞 Key Benefits to Pernod Ricard from 100 kW Solar Installation

✅ 1. Significant Reduction in Electricity Costs

The 100 kW rooftop system is designed to generate approximately 1.3 to 1.4 lakh units of electricity annually, directly offsetting grid consumption. This leads to a noticeable reduction in electricity bills, translating to thousands of rupees in monthly savings.

For a facility with continuous energy needs, these savings enhance profitability while protecting against future increases in grid tariffs.

✅ 2. 80% Accelerated Depreciation for Rapid ROI

Under the Indian Income Tax Act (Section 32), solar projects are eligible for Accelerated Depreciation, allowing businesses to depreciate the asset quickly over two years:

• 40% depreciation in the first year40% in the second year

This enables Pernod Ricard to claim 80% depreciation within just two financial years, significantly reducing taxable income and delivering a faster return on investment. For capital-intensive industries, this is a major financial advantage.

✅ 3. Reduction in Carbon Footprint – A Sustainable Edge

By switching to solar, the 100 kW system at Pernod Ricard’s Dera Bassi facility will offset nearly 130 tons of CO₂ emissions annually—the equivalent of planting over 2,000 trees each year.

As a global company with a strong sustainability commitment, this move enhances Pernod Ricard’s ESG profile and contributes to its global climate goals, including alignment with Science Based Targets and net-zero emissions strategies.

✅ 4. Boost to Brand Reputation and Global Export Readiness

In an increasingly sustainability-focused global market, brands like Pernod Ricard benefit from cleaner production practices. This solar initiative:

• Enhances corporate image as a responsible brand
• Meets supplier and distributor expectations on sustainability
• Strengthens export capabilities through lower carbon intensity per unit produced

Solar adoption reinforces Pernod Ricard’s leadership not just in product quality, but also in environmental responsibility.

✅ 5. Low Maintenance, Long-Term Gains

Thanks to high-quality Tata Power Solar modules and expert commissioning by Ekam Energy, the system is built to perform reliably for over 25 years with minimal maintenance.

Ekam Energy also offers real-time performance monitoring and annual maintenance support, ensuring maximum energy yield and peace of mind for the client.
