Company has recently commenced power generation from its 1 MW captive ground-mounted solar power project at its manufacturing facility in Kadi, Gujarat. The project is now operational and generating renewable power for captive consumption, marking an important step in strengthening the Company's energy infrastructure and manufacturing efficiency.

With the solar power project now operational, the Company expects it to support the energy requirements of its manufacturing facility and contribute to the integration of renewable energy into its manufacturing operations.

The successful operationalisation of the project also reflects Rhetan TMT's continued focus on strengthening its manufacturing infrastructure and adopting sustainable energy solutions as part of its long-term business strategy.

Complementing its manufacturing capabilities, Rhetan TMT has strengthened its product portfolio with Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification for premium-grade Fe500D, Fe550 and Fe550D TMT bars. The certification enables the Company to supply these premium-grade TMT bars for government and PSU infrastructure projects across India, strengthening its presence in a high-value market segment while reinforcing its commitment to delivering quality products that meet the evolving requirements of the country's infrastructure sector.

Commenting on the development, Mr. Shalin Shah, Managing Director of Rhetan TMT Limited, said, 'The commissioning of our 1 MW captive solar power project is an important step in strengthening the energy economics of our manufacturing operations. With energy representing a meaningful component of our cost base, the project gives us greater control over a key operating input while also supporting our sustainability objectives. At the same time, the BIS certification for Fe500D, Fe550 and Fe550D grades expands our ability to serve higher value infrastructure requirements. Together, these initiatives strengthen our manufacturing efficiency and product capabilities while providing a stronger platform for our next phase of growth.'

With the addition of captive renewable power and an expanded portfolio of higher-grade TMT products, Rhetan TMT is strengthening both the efficiency of its manufacturing operations and the breadth of markets it can serve.
