The 20-year PPA will begin delivery in 2024 and bring the renewable electricity share in India to 65 per cent in 2025, Saint-Gobain said.
Construction and industrial products major Saint-Gobain has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) in India with Vibrant Energy to provide wind-solar electricity to six local sites.
Vibrant Energy is a portfolio company of Macquarie Asset Management's Green Investment Group (MAM-GIG).

Our commitment towards sustainability is at the core of our business strategy, and this partnership is a significant step towards achieving our goal of 100 per cent renewable energy by 2030," B.
