The company installed a solar power plant to partially meet the facility’s internal  energy needs, helping reduce reliance on conventional power and advancing the company’s  environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals.

BMW Industries Limited inaugurated two new tube mills and a 1.28 MW rooftop solar power plant at its Jamshedpur facility. The company has invested 50 crore in this project to increase production capacity and meet rising market demand. The rooftop solar system has been installed to partially meet the facility’s internal energy needs, helping reduce reliance on conventional power and advancing the company’s environmental social and governance (ESG) goals.

This shift toward cleaner energy sources underscores BMW Industries’ commitment to operating in a more sustainable and environmentally responsible manner. The inauguration ceremony was led by Chief Guest Sanjay Surajprakash Sahni, The Executive In Charge of Tubes Division of Tata Steel, alongside senior company officials and dignitaries.

The new solar facility will support a portion of the plant’s energy needs and reduce its carbon footprint.  The expanded tube mill capacity will enhance the company’s ability to manufacture steel products  such as MS and Gl pipes, which are in growing demand across sectors. The project represents BMW  Industries’ approach towards scaling responsibly, combining growth with long-term sustainability.  

Harsh Bansal, Managing Director, BMW Industries said, “We are pleased to start operations of the new tube mills at our Jamshedpur plant. This addition aligns with our long-term growth strategy and supports our focus on increasing output to meet market needs. The solar rooftop installation is part of our efforts to reduce dependency on non-renewable sources and manage energy use more effectively. These steps are in line with our ESG vision and will help in building a more efficient and responsible manufacturing setup. We thank all teams involved in making this milestone possible and remain committed to steady progress.”
