Whether you're a mid-size factory, a hospital, a cold storage facility, or an EU-bound exporter, your energy strategy directly affects your competitiveness. We design solar solutions that align with your business goals. Group Captive for surcharge-free power. Open Access PPA for zero-capex flexibility. RESCO rooftop where space allows. Backed by three decades of execution credentials and a contractual generation guarantee that puts our economic interests in alignment with yours.
Trusted by BSNL, GAIL, and the Government of Odisha. Now serving private factories, hospitals, and CBAM-exposed exporters.
Industrial rates rise through tariff revisions, fuel-cost adjustments, and time-of-day surcharges. None of it is negotiable. All of it compounds.
Industrial consumers subsidise residential and agricultural power through a surcharge baked into your bill. Group Captive structures exempt you. Open Access bypasses it.
Roof-owned solar demands capital your CFO would rather deploy elsewhere. Most providers offer one structure. The structure should match the balance sheet — not the other way around.
Steel, aluminium, cement, and fertiliser shipments to the EU now carry an embedded carbon cost. Verified renewable electricity reduces that exposure directly.
Group Captive ownership exempts you from Cross-Subsidy Surcharge through 26% equity participation in the SPV. Open Access PPA delivers solar at fixed rates without your capital. RESCO rooftop installs panels on your premises at zero upfront cost. Each has a different tax profile, contract structure, and use case — we walk you through the trade-offs before you commit.
You take ≥26% equity in the SPV that owns the solar farm and consume ≥51% of its generation. In return, you're statutorily exempt from Cross-Subsidy Surcharge and Additional Surcharge — a saving the DISCOM cannot reverse.
Mid-to-large industrial loads (≥1 MVA contracted demand) with stable, predictable consumption. Manufacturers, hospitals, cold storage operators with Open Access eligibility and a long operational horizon.
CSS exemption.
26% equity + 51% consumption = statutory exemption from Cross-Subsidy Surcharge (Electricity Act 2003). Savings: ₹0.80–₹2.50/unit, state-dependent.
Step-down tariff post-payback.
After the 5–7 year payback period, your power cost steps down to cover O&M only — near-zero tariff from year 8 onward.
CloudSolar owns the solar farm. You sign a Power Purchase Agreement at a tariff fixed for the contract term. Power moves through the grid under Open Access regulations; you pay only wheeling and banking charges plus the contracted PPA rate.
Operators who want immediate tariff savings without tying up capital, who don't qualify for Group Captive, or who'd rather treat solar as an opex line. Multi-site operators benefit most.
100 kW threshold (GEOA 2022).
Green Energy Open Access Rules 2022 dropped eligibility from 1 MW to 100 kW (single or aggregated, same distribution division). Mid-size factories, hospitals, and commercial buildings now qualify.
CSS cap protection.
CSS on your OA PPA cannot rise more than 50% above the rate at access grant, for 12 years from commissioning. Regulatory cost exposure is capped while DISCOM tariffs climb.
CloudSolar (via Sharada Industries) installs, owns, and maintains rooftop PV on your premises at zero upfront cost. You pay only for the units consumed at a tariff lower than your DISCOM rate. The asset transfers to you at end-of-tenure.
Operators with usable, structurally sound roof space and stable daytime load — warehouses, manufacturing sheds, hospitals, IT campuses. Suited to consumers below the Open Access load threshold.
Occupancy Certificate compliance.
Haryana and select states require rooftop solar (typically 5% of sanctioned load) before issuing OC on commercial buildings above plot thresholds. Our RESCO model satisfies this mandate at zero capital.
Zero upfront, depreciation passed through.
We own, fund, and operate the asset. You pay only the contracted per-unit rate. Tax depreciation accrues to us, priced into your tariff — reducing effective unit cost.
Indian exporters facing CBAM compliance need more than solar electricity — they need verified, audit-defensible Scope 2 emissions data that EU verifiers will accept. Today, most exporters either submit default values (which inflate their costs) or pay separately for emissions consulting on top of their energy procurement. We're integrating both into a single offering: solar electricity plus CBAM-grade verification, partnering with ISO 14065-aligned verifiers to make the documentation seamless. Capability launches in 2026; CBAM Impact Briefs are available now.

What you'll get back
Structure recommendation. Group Captive, Open Access, RESCO, or hybrid — matched to your load, state, and balance-sheet position.
Indicative tariff. Fixed PPA rate or escalator schedule, benchmarked against your current DISCOM tariff slab.
Capex/opex profile. Year-1 outlay, Section 32 AD treatment where applicable, and 10-year cumulative savings.
CBAM exposure note. Only if you flag EU exports — default-value penalty, embedded-emissions estimate, certificate-cost projection.
Reference contacts. Comparable operators in your sector and state, available on request after NDA.
No commitment. Conversations on this form are routed to our industrial desk — not a sales queue. Response within two business days.
