Strategic Partnership and Financial Context
The collaboration between CleanMax and Apple builds on an earlier co-investment partnership supporting Apple's India operations and is aimed at accelerating decarbonization within India's C&I sector through scaled renewable energy deployment. Kuldeep Jain, Managing Director and Founder of Clean Max, said, "We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Apple yet again. At CleanMax, we see ourselves as a long-term net-zero partner to corporates, and we are proud to continue working with a company like Apple that continues to push the ecosystem to think bigger, move faster, and build more responsibly."
Clean Max serves over 570 customers across India, the Middle East, and South-East Asia, with data centers and AI accounting for 42% of contracted volumes as of Q3 FY26. The audited financials for FY 2024-25 show that Clean Max Sapphire Private Limited contributed 6.88% to the Company's consolidated net worth. The partnership also reflects the growing role of strategic co-investment models in accelerating high-quality renewable infrastructure for commercial and industrial consumers, with India continuing to emerge as a critical market in this transition.
