ReNew Power has announced that it will contribute to the Central and State Governments’ efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic in India. The company will contribute ₹20 Crore out of which ₹10 Crore will go to PM CARES Fund and ₹5 Crore towards the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund (CMRF) in various states. The rest will be spent on several activities targeted to directly help communities impacted by the lockdown and to bolster the health infrastructure to tackle the pandemic. The company will be working across its sites in the states of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, and will cover around 140 villages. Additionally, ReNew is adopting a village in Haryana, where around 350 vulnerable households will be provided with dry ration and hygiene kits. The company’s employees, led by their CMD and other members of the senior management, will be contributing a part of their salary to fund various activities to fight the pandemic.

“ReNew Power is already at the forefront of the battle against COVID-19 by keeping its clean power generating sites operational amidst the lockdown and ensuring regular power supply to people from more than 100 sites across the country. But we all know that these difficult times require us to act beyond the call of duty to assist the government with financial as well as infrastructure support to ensure that it is equipped to fight this disease. As the nation navigates these uncharted waters, we hope that our endeavor to help equip the hospitals and their staff with the right medical equipment will strengthen local efforts in tackling this emergency. We, at ReNew, salute the selfless service of all those who are battling the pandemic, especially the medical fraternity and will continue to work towards empowering them with whatever help is necessary,” commented Sumant Sinha, Chairman & Managing Director, ReNew Power.
