Apple and CleanMax are doubling down on India’s renewable energy boom, announcing a strategic co-investment of nearly Rs. 100 crore to accelerate clean power adoption across the country’s commercial and industrial sector.
The partnership with Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions Limited — India’s largest renewable energy provider for commercial and industrial customers — marks another major step in Apple’s global carbon neutrality drive while strengthening CleanMax’s position at the center of India’s industrial decarbonization push.
The latest deal builds on an earlier co-investment partnership supporting Apple’s India operations and comes as corporations race to secure large-scale renewable energy capacity amid rising sustainability commitments.
Kuldeep Jain, Managing Director and Founder, CleanMax, said, “We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Apple yet again. At CleanMax, we see ourselves as a long-term net-zero partner to corporates, and we are proud to continue working with a company like Apple that continues to push the ecosystem to think bigger, move faster, and build more responsibly.”
Industry observers say partnerships like this are reshaping India’s next wave of industrial clean energy growth by combining global capital, corporate sustainability targets, and scalable renewable infrastructure deployment.
India has rapidly emerged as a key battleground for corporate decarbonization, with demand surging for solar, wind, and hybrid renewable projects as companies seek to cut emissions and secure long-term energy stability.
CleanMax currently serves more than 570 corporate customers across India, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. The company said data centers and AI-driven businesses now account for 42% of its contracted renewable energy volumes as of Q3 FY26, highlighting the soaring energy demands of the digital economy.
The company’s portfolio spans rooftop solar projects, utility-scale solar farms, wind projects, hybrid energy parks, and carbon credit solutions aimed at helping businesses accelerate their transition to net-zero operations.
