Surat’s first solar-powered textile market is powered by Goldi Solar

Avadh Group’s first solar-powered textile market in Surat is powered by Goldi Solar, which may pave the way for other markets in the area.


Global solar panel manufacturer and EPC services provider Goldi Solar has solarized Surat’s First Textile Market for Avadh Group. The market can be found in the heart of Umarwada, a district in Surat. AWDH is a reputable real estate company with various high-end residential and commercial projects across the country.

The solar power project is planned to be completed in three phases. Currently, 100 KW of the project has been commissioned out of its three phases. The high-efficiency modules from Goldi Solar will generate 497,400 KWh of electricity a year and offset 47.1 tons of CO2 emissions. Electricity savings of 37.5 lakhs are expected every year at Avadh Textile Market.

Surat is poised to grow into a solar hub after having emerged as a manufacturing hub of diamonds and textiles. The solar market is expected to benefit more than 10,000 textile markets. 

Ishver Dholakiya, Founder & Managing Director, Goldi Solar, commented, “It feels good to be at the center of change. This project will help advance solar energy as a mainstream energy source in Surat. We are proud to support Avadh Group on their solar journey, and encourage others to go solar in order to make Surat a clean and green city.” 

Avadh Group Director and President Lavjibhai Dungarbhai Daliya said, “We have chosen Goldi Solar for the quality of its products, performance, customer centricity, and ability to partner with its customers. Moreover, they are an Indian brand.

Hopefully, Avadh has set an example for other organizations to shift to solar energy for their power requirements and become carbon-neutral,” he added.
