Apple has announced a major clean energy push in India, unveiling fresh investments and partnerships aimed at expanding renewable energy.
What are the plans: the company is investing ₹100 crore with CleanMax, a renewable energy developer, to build over 150 MW of clean energy capacity.
The project can generate enough electricity to power nearly 1.5 lakh Indian homes every year while reducing pollution by replacing coal-based power.
Apple has also partnered with WWF-India to strengthen recycling and waste-management systems in the country.
Alongside this, the company is teaming up with Acumen, a non-profit investment firm, to support six Indian green startups working on waste management, sustainable farming and circular economy solutions. Apple will provide these startups with funding, mentorship and technical support to help scale their businesses.
Zoom out: these India-focused initiatives are part of Apple’s larger goal of becoming completely carbon neutral by 2030.
India is now central to Apple’s global strategy, producing nearly 25% of all iPhones worldwide, with around 55 million devices assembled in the country last year.
At the same time, India is becoming one of Apple’s fastest-growing consumer markets, with nearly 14 million iPhones sold in the country last year and further retail expansion underway.
