Ananta Companies has inaugurated a 321.78 KWp rooftop solar project at ABM Fashions Ltd., situated in the Konabari neighbourhood of Gazipur, marking an important milestone in its green energy journey. Ananta’s dedication to renewable energy as a top clothing manufacturer is reinforced by this effort, which was created by Solar EPC Development Ltd. (SPEC).
It is anticipated that the recently commissioned solar project will produce roughly 446.7 KWh, resulting in significant grid electricity consumption savings and an annual decrease of 5,222.9 tonnes of carbon emissions. Additionally, the initiative will save about 38,649.46 barrels of crude oil annually, which is equivalent to growing about 20,100 trees.
After the successful installation of a 425.7 KWp system at Ananta Garments Ltd. and a 106.64 KWp system at Ananta Sportswear Ltd., both of which were made possible by Solar EPC, this project marks the third rooftop solar installation finished by Ananta Companies.
As part of a larger plan to increase the company’s efforts in renewable energy, Managing Director Inamul Haq Khan underlined that these solar projects represent Ananta’s steadfast dedication to sustainability and a lower carbon footprint.
Ananta Garments Ltd. and Ananta Sportswear Ltd. are happy to have earned the LEED V4.1 Platinum certification in addition to their solar accomplishments. In 2023, they scored an excellent 89 points in the category, and in 2024, Ananta Jeanswear Ltd. got an even higher score of 90 points. These honours demonstrate the business’ commitment to environmentally conscious operations and sustainable practices.
Since its founding in 1992, Ananta Companies has emerged as a major force in Bangladesh’s ready-made garment (RMG) industry, with more than 7,000 state-of-the-art equipment and a monthly production capacity of about 2.5 million garments. About 15,000 people are employed by the organisation, and they put in a lot of effort to satisfy production targets and customer expectations.
