Happiest Minds Technologies today announced commissioning of a 183kWp solar power plant at its 'Smiles 2' campus at Madivala, Bengaluru.
The new solar power plant will generate 256 MWh of electricity per year and is estimated to reduce 210 tonne of carbon emissions annually and 5200 tonne over its lifecycle, the company said in a statement.
Happiest Minds aims to achieve carbon neutrality in its operations by 2030 and aspires to be known for its high levels of ESG standards.
Commenting on the development, the company's Managing Director and CFO Venkatraman Narayanan said the company is consciously embedding sustainability in every aspect of its business by striving for more mindful ways to reduce the impact on the planet, whilst providing digital, agile, and sustainable solutions to the customers.
India's Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) target is to achieve about 40 per cent cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources and to reduce the emission intensity of its GDP by 33 per cent to 35 per cent from 2005 level by 2030.
