Through the event, Mercom India aims to facilitate connections between clean energy solution providers and consumers to discuss power requirements, cost benefits, challenges, opportunities, and solutions.

Mumbai, India’s financial capital and economic powerhouse, hosts some of the nation’s largest corporations along with numerous small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The city is home to industries spread across sectors.

Businesses adopting solar energy and other renewable energy sources has become imperative to cut electricity costs and make their operations sustainable.

For instance, rooftop solar systems are a one-time investment that offers significant benefits and positively impacts business operations.

C&I entities, large institutions, and residential apartment buildings seek clean energy at a lower cost than grid power tariffs. Rooftop solar, being cost-effective and environmentally friendly, presents an attractive option to reduce operating expenses over the long term.
