Rajasthan-based Wonder Cement will procure 30 MW of solar power from Sunsure Energy’s 150 MW project in Solapur, Maharashtra, and 49 MW project in Augasi, Uttar Pradesh.

The two companies signed power purchase agreements for the supply of power to Wonder Cement’s facilities in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, and Dhule, Maharashtra.

Wonder Cement expects to meet 67% of its electricity needs at the Dhule facility and 52% at the Aligarh facility through solar power procurement.

Kiran Patil, Managing Director at Wonder Cement, said the company has committed to low-carbon operations as evidenced by its strategic integration of renewable energy sources, including solar and wind power.

Wonder Cement has a total cement manufacturing capacity of 21.5 MTPA, comprising an integrated plant at Nimbahera and grinding units at Dhule, Badnawar (Madhya Pradesh), Jhajjar (Haryana), Aligarh, and Tulsigam (Gujarat).

Several companies in the hard-to-abate cement manufacturing sector are deploying renewable energy sources to cut their emissions. Recently, another cement company, UltraTech Cement, signed an agreement to procure solar power from Sunsure’s 14 MW project in Maharashtra. It also signed another agreement to source power from Sunsure’s 60 MW captive solar project integrated with a battery energy storage system in Uttar Pradesh.

Currently, Sunsure has operationalized 700 MW of renewable energy projects and 7.1 GW under various stages of development across Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Karnataka.

The company has set a target of 10 GW installations by 2030.

According to Mercom’s Q4 & Annual 2025 India Solar Open Access Market Report, India added 7.8 GW of solar open access capacity in 2025, a largely flat 0.5% year-over-year growth from 7.7 GW. India’s cumulative installed solar open access capacity exceeded 30 GW as of December 2025.

Maharashtra, ranked second among states with the highest number of solar open access installations in 2025, accounted for slightly over 85% of the total.
