What we're watching

- Progress on the Bhosari factory's energy cost reduction as renewable share rises.
- Any further captive renewable projects to hit the 48% target by FY27 or beyond.
The full read
Century Enka is following through on its renewable energy plan by signing a PPA with group company ABREL Century Energy for a 9.9 MW wind-solar hybrid plant under captive rules. The facility will power the Bhosari factory exclusively, with commissioning targeted by end-June 2026. This supports the plan to boost renewable penetration from 36% to 48%. But the investment outlay remains undisclosed — hard to gauge near-term impact. For a ₹1,147 cr company, the lack of quantified savings limits market reaction.
