New Delhi: Taj Surajkund Resort & Spa, Delhi NCR has commissioned a 50 kWp solar power plant, adding renewable energy to its power mix and advancing sustainability measures aligned with IHCL’s Paathya framework.
The solar plant is expected to generate about 73,000 kWh of green energy annually and close to 18.25 lakh kWh over its operational life. The move strengthens the resort’s energy resilience, supports responsible operations and contributes to a measurable reduction in its environmental footprint.
Commenting on the development, Ramneet Singh, Hotel Manager, Taj Surajkund Resort & Spa, Delhi NCR, said, “Sustainability is central to our operating philosophy and the guest experience we create at Taj Surajkund. The commissioning of our 50 kWp solar power plant is a meaningful step towards reducing our carbon footprint while strengthening long term energy efficiency. Aligned with IHCL’s Paathya framework, we remain committed to implementing initiatives that are thoughtful, measurable and future ready, while continuing to deliver the intuitive service and warmth that define Taj.”
The solar installation complements a wider set of sustainability initiatives across the property. The resort operates sewage and effluent treatment plants with a combined water treatment capacity of 350 KLD, with treated water reused for cooling towers and irrigation. An in-house water bottling unit produces up to 1,000 bottles of 500 ml each, reducing reliance on externally sourced packaged water.
Taj Surajkund has also created four rainwater harvesting recharge pits to support groundwater replenishment and installed three electric vehicle chargers to encourage cleaner mobility. Organic waste generated at the property is processed through an on-site composter with a capacity of 250 kg, converting food waste into manure for horticulture. In line with responsible refrigerant practices, the resort does not use R22 in any refrigeration unit.
These measures reflect the resort’s ongoing focus on embedding sustainability into daily operations, with an emphasis on efficiency, accountability and long-term impact under IHCL’s Paathya ESG framework.
