The solar power supplied under the agreement can help KBL meet around 75% of its energy requirements for both facilities from clean, renewable sources. This transition can also allow KBL to offset 14,200 metric tonnes of CO2e emissions annually, reinforcing their strong commitment to reducing environmental impact.

KBL’s corporate office in Pune is a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified Platinum-rated green building whereas four of its manufacturing plants are GreenCo certified by CII. It has also received the CII GreenPro Ecolabel certification for its pumps (DBxe & LLCTM Horizontal Split Case Pump Series) and castings (Cast Iron & Alloy Cast Stee Foundry) as a result of their low environmental impact and adherence to global sustainability standards. This PPA agreement can further advance their sustainability initiatives.
