Adani Foundation and ACC Install Solar Irrigation and Water Systems in Jharkhand’s Sindri Villages

New Delhi, August 20, 2025: ACC, the cement and building materials company of the Adani Portfolio, in collaboration with the Adani Foundation, has implemented solar-powered irrigation and water systems across the Gram Panchayat of Chhatatand and nearby villages in Sindri, Jharkhand.

The initiative is aimed at addressing the dual challenges of unreliable electricity and rising diesel costs for farmers, while also improving household access to safe drinking water.

As part of the intervention, 5 HP solar irrigation pumps were installed across 15 acres of farmland in Chhatatand and Samlapur. These systems are enabling uninterrupted irrigation, helping farmers save up to ₹30,000 per season and improving agricultural productivity.

Additionally, six 2 HP solar drinking water systems have been set up in five villages, including Simatand, Kushberia, and Jamadoba Basti. These systems pump water into overhead tanks, providing more than 150 families with clean drinking water close to their homes.

The project is designed to reduce the daily hardship of accessing water, improve health outcomes, and build sustainable livelihoods. By integrating renewable energy into local infrastructure, the initiative also contributes to climate-friendly development in the Sindri region.

According to ACC and the Adani Foundation, these clean energy solutions are fostering long-term self-reliance while ensuring reliable access to essential resources for farming communities and households in Jharkhand.
