Jaipur, Rajasthan [India]: As the world races toward carbon net zero by 2050, companies like Vaibhav Global Limited (VGL) are taking carbon emission seriously by launching a company owned and operated solar power plant. The solar power generated will now power two of the company’s primary manufacturing facilities. Surplus power will also be distributed to local community resources.
