Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India inaugurated its second wind turbine system at Bhanvad in Dwarka district of Gujarat, around 350 km from the company’s Vithalapur plant.
Built with an investment of Rs 176 million, the company will now produce a total of 4.7 MW wind energy including its first wind turbine system (two MW capacity) installed at Radhanpur in Patan district in 2020.
Noteworthy, HMSI will now meet over 50 percent of total energy requirements at its four manufacturing plants in Manesar (Haryana), Tapukara (Rajasthan), Narsapura (Karnataka) and Vithalapur (Gujarat) from renewable energy resources.
By reducing its thermal power consumption, HMSI is moving closer towards Honda’s long-term environmental vision to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
