India's leading solar solutions and products company Waaree Energies Limited has successfully synchronised the solar photovoltaic power plant of 1.5 MW Capacity at Gumthala, Nagpur in the factory premises of M/s Haldiram Foods International Pvt Ltd.

This is the first-of-its-kind solar power project commissioned by Waaree in the Vidharbha region of Maharashtra. The power generated is directly fed to factory for internal consumption.
