Apple will invest Rs. 100 crore to expand renewable energy capacity in India as the iPhone maker accelerates efforts to decarbonise its global operations and supply chain. The company plans to develop more than 150 megawatts of renewable energy capacity through its partnership with CleanMax.
The clean energy projects will produce sufficient electricity to supply power to approximately 15,0000 residences every year. Apple said the investment aligns with its target of becoming carbon neutral across its business, manufacturing supply chain, and product life cycle by 2030.
Apple announced that its current investment extends its existing renewable energy partnerships in India from previous projects. The company already powers its offices, retail stores, and several operational facilities in the country through renewable sources. The new projects with CleanMax will support additional clean power generation, helping suppliers transition towards greener energy use.
Apple believes that supplier decarbonisation will drive essential progress for its entire value chain to achieve emission reductions. Sarah Chandler, Vice President for Apple’s Environment and Supply Chain Innovation, said, “The company wants to combine business growth with environmental responsibility. Apple will continue investing in solutions that strengthen India’s clean energy ecosystem.”
Alongside the renewable energy push, Apple is also supporting broader environmental programmes in India. The company has partnered with WWF-India to improve recycling systems and tackle plastic waste.
Apple is also working with Acumen to support startups focused on waste management, regenerative agriculture, and circular economy solutions. The initiative will provide funding, mentorship, and technical support to early-stage green ventures. India has emerged as a key manufacturing and growth market for Apple. The company has steadily expanded local production while increasing its sustainability commitments in the country.
