Overview
- Apple, which announced Thursday an initial ₹100 crore co‑investment with CleanMax, will help build more than 150 MW of new renewable capacity estimated to power about 150,000 Indian homes each year.
- CleanMax described the deal as a strategic co‑investment to speed renewable projects for factories and offices in India’s commercial market, citing rising demand from data centers and AI firms.
- Apple says the outlay equals about $10.5 million and the partnership could scale in the coming years as it adds clean power for suppliers in India.
- Alongside the energy push, Apple is working with WWF‑India to expand a waste‑recovery model piloted with Saahas Zero Waste in Goa to new regions including Coimbatore to cut plastic leakage into local ecosystems.
- Apple will also partner with Acumen to back six early‑stage green enterprises with grants, mentorship, and technical help in areas such as waste management, circular economy solutions, and regenerative agriculture.
