Mumbai, June 13, 2025: Courtyard By Marriott Aravali Resort has installed a 368 kilowatt peak (KWp) solar power plant. Nestled amid the scenic Aravali Hills, the hotel is now harnessing the abundant solar potential of its surroundings to generate over 1,272 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean energy every day. The solar plant substantially reduces the hotel’s reliance on conventional energy sources, bringing down its carbon footprint and operational emissions. Over the course of a year, this renewable energy system is expected to offset a considerable amount of greenhouse gases, equivalent to planting thousands of mature trees or removing hundreds of cars from the road.
The solar panels have been strategically integrated into the architecture to maximize energy yield while maintaining the natural harmony of the property. This clean energy powers several core functions, including air conditioning, lighting, kitchen operations, and water heating, allowing the hotel to function more sustainably without compromising its elevated guest experience.
“At Courtyard By Marriott Aravali Resort, we believe that the future of hospitality lies in responsible innovation,” said Anuj Chaudhry, General Manager, Courtyard By Marriott Aravali Resort. “The installation of this solar plant reflects our unwavering dedication to sustainability, not just as a concept, but as a continuous commitment to action. We want to offer our guests an experience where luxury meets mindfulness, and where their stay contributes to something larger, something greener.”
Chaudhry added, “Our vision is to transform Courtyard By Marriott Aravali Resort into a benchmark for eco-conscious hospitality. This solar initiative is just the beginning. We are working toward implementing a range of environmentally friendly practices, from water conservation and rainwater harvesting to waste segregation and local sourcing of produce. Sustainability, for us, is not a checkbox, it’s our culture.”
“The Courtyard By Marriott Aravali Resort’s solar installation is a powerful demonstration of how premium hospitality and sustainability can — and must — coexist,” said Dr Sanjay Sethi, MD & CEO of Chalet Hotels Ltd. “We view every green milestone not just as an operational win, but as a step toward a more resilient and responsible future. This project reflects our commitment to Net Zero 2040 and our investment in innovation that serves both our guests and the planet.”
