To reduce its carbon footprint and spearheading sustainable business efforts, Myntra has equipped two of its largest Fulfilment Centers (FC) with solar roof panels. As reported by The Business Wire, these solar panels are located in Bhiwandi, near Mumbai and Bilaspur, near Gurgaon. They are spread over 58,000 sq ft and meet 35 per cent of the electricity demand.
The two FCs cater to the largest chunk of Myntra orders across a network of over 27,000 pin codes every day. These fully installed solar rooftops aim to make Myntra’s delivery process more environment-friendly by lowering its annual carbon footprint by 1825 metric tonne, equivalent to reducing the emission impact of 400 cars on the road every year.
Myntra plans to scale its existing energy-saving infrastructure besides setting ambitious milestones on sustainability and meaningful benchmarks in the e-commerce industry. Currently, the company has installed over 3800 solar panels on the rooftops of the two FCs and Myntra aims to double this capacity in the next six months.
