ABOUT PROJECT
Suparsh Agro Solar EPC
July 22, 2025
PLANT CAPACITY
400 kWp (kilowatt-peak)
ANNUAL ENERGY GENERATION
5.4 Lakhs units (kWh)
ELECTRICITY COST REDUCTION
₹44 lakhs per annum
Project Overview
The project was executed on an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) basis, providing a turnkey solution that included the design, supply, installation, and commissioning of the solar power plant. The system was designed to meet a significant portion of Suparsh Agro's energy demands, thereby reducing its reliance on costly grid electricity.
Financial Overview
The project's financial viability is its most compelling feature. The Return on Investment (ROI) is calculated by comparing the initial capital expenditure (CAPEX) with the annual savings.
Annual Savings
As per the project data, Suparsh Agro achieves an annual electricity cost reduction of around ₹45 lakhs. This saving is the key to calculating the payback period.
Payback Period Calculation
The payback period is the time it takes for the total savings to equal the initial investment.
Payback Period = Total Investment / Annual Savings + Tax Benefits
Payback Period = 2.6 years
However, it is crucial to account for the Accelerated Depreciation benefit available to commercial and industrial solar projects in India under Section 32 of the Income Tax Act. This allows for a significant tax shield. While the provided data doesn't specify the tax rate, this benefit can substantially reduce the effective payback period. With a 40% depreciation in the first year, the effective cost is much lower, leading to a much faster ROI within 3 years. The savings from the tax shield, combined with the electricity bill savings, allow the client to recoup their investment quickly. Environmental Impact Beyond the financial gains, the project delivers a substantial positive environmental footprint.
Environmental Impact
Beyond the financial gains, the project delivers a substantial positive environmental footprint.
CO2 Offset:
The generation of 5.4 lakh units of clean energy annually offsets 512 tons of CO2. This is equivalent to preventing the emissions from burning over 1,000 barrels of oil.
Equivalent Tree Plantations:
The clean energy produced is comparable to the environmental benefits of planting 3,618 trees each year, demonstrating a strong commitment to combating climate change and promoting a sustainable future. The project not only helps Suparsh Agro reduce its carbon footprint but also enhances its brand image as a responsible and eco-conscious organization
