Bradken’s Coimbatore Works Achieves One-Month Operation Using 100% Renewable Electricity (Bradken PTY Limited) )
Bradken, a consolidated subsidiary of Hitachi Construction Machinery successfully operated its Coimbatore works (Coimbatore, India) using 100% renewable electricity throughout June 2025.The plant manufactures mill liners, which are cast wear parts used in mining equipment for mineral processing.
Bradken has invested in renewable energy providers— Enerparc AG Group (solar power) in December 2022 and Continuum Green Energy Group (solar and wind power) in March 2024 . These investments have enabled stable access to renewable electricity, and Bradken expects to achieve a record-high 85% renewable electricity usage for the current fiscal year.
Renewable electricity procurement is a key pillar of Bradken’s Carbon Neutral Roadmap. In addition, the company is working to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions through equipment upgrades, electrification of machinery, and operational efficiency improvements.
In India, rapid economic growth and population increase have led to rising electricity demand. To address this, the government has made renewable energy a national strategic priority, aiming to source approximately 50%* of its electricity from renewables by 2030. Solar and wind power are expanding rapidly, leveraging the country’s vast land and favorable natural conditions, and corporate adoption of renewable energy is also accelerating.
In this context, Bradken’s achievement of 100% renewable electricity operation at its Coimbatore works not only contributes to India’s sustainable growth but also represents a milestone in Hitachi Construction Machinery Group’s commitment to carbon neutrality.
Hitachi Construction Machinery Group aims to achieve carbon neutrality across its entire value chain by 2050 and will continue to promote environmentally conscious manufacturing at all production sites and group companies worldwide.
