The Jaisalmer project is expected to generate substantial direct and indirect employment opportunities, with a focus on fostering skill development among local youth and enhancing social infrastructure in the region. The plant will be equipped with advanced technologies, including waste heat recovery systems, reinforcing the company’s commitment to sustainability, energy efficiency, and reducing carbon footprint.
