Giving a major push to household renewable energy adoption in
western Odisha, Aditya Aluminium, Lapanga, in partnership with TP Western Odisha
Distribution Limited (TPWODL), has launched a rooftop solar installation
programme under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft
Bijli Yojana, with a ground-breaking ceremony held at RR Colony, Ludhapali.
Under the first phase of the project, 336 households will be
equipped with rooftop solar systems under the Utility-Led Aggregation (ULA)
Model, enabling families to generate clean electricity, reduce their monthly
power bills and contribute to India's growing clean energy mission.
The initiative is expected to enhance energy security at the
household level while accelerating the adoption of renewable energy in the
region. It also supports the Government of India's vision of expanding rooftop
solar capacity and promoting sustainable, low-carbon communities.
The ceremony was attended by Pritam Tanti, Block Development
Officer (BDO), Rengali; Kishore Sahu, Additional Tahasildar, Rengali; Pratyush
Mishra, Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO), Rengali, TPWODL; Jagannath Prasad Nayak,
Unit Head, Aditya Aluminium; Gulshan Tiwari, CPP Head; Vinoda Nand Thakur, HR
Head; Jyoti Prakasha Muduli of the Captive Power Plant (CPP), members of the
CSR team, TPWODL officials and local residents.
Addressing the gathering, the dignitaries described the
initiative as an important milestone in taking clean energy directly to
households. They noted that wider adoption of rooftop solar would not only
reduce dependence on conventional power sources but also deliver long-term
economic and environmental benefits to consumers.
The programme reflects the shared commitment of Aditya
Aluminium, TPWODL and the district administration to advancing sustainable
development through community-centric initiatives. By promoting affordable
renewable energy at the grassroots, the partnership aims to improve livelihoods
while supporting India's transition towards a cleaner and greener energy
future.
