HDFC Bank will enable access to clean and renewable energy solutions to over 1,000 villages across India by 2025 under its CSR (corporate social responsibility) initiative ‘Parivartan’. A media statement said this initiative will empower rural and semi-urban communities through solar-powered infrastructure, awareness, and local partnerships.
Parivartan has installed over 61,655 solar street lights across 22 states. Some solar projects include portable solar pumps for efficient irrigation, solar-powered piped water supply systems, and solar-powered food processing units that boost local economies.
HDFC Bank’s ‘Solar Shiksha’ initiative addresses the lack of awareness, process barriers, and myths that often prevent adoption. The programme provides education and practical demonstrations as well as information on government schemes and subsidies, it said.
Over 90 awareness workshops have been held across Goa, Karnataka, Haryana, Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir, Maharashtra, Telangana, and Chhattisgarh. The programme reaches schools, public hospitals, orphanages, farming groups and old-age homes where solar can directly improve quality of life, it said.
Quoting Kaizad Bharucha, Deputy Managing Director, HDFC Bank, the statement said: “At HDFC Bank, we believe that the path to a sustainable future lies in inclusive development. Our solar energy initiatives under Parivartan are designed to bring real, measurable change — lighting up streets and homes, while also creating opportunities. By focusing on awareness, innovation, and community ownership, we are investing in a future that is equitable, resilient and green. On Earth Day, we reaffirm our commitment to scaling up such impactful models across India.”
Nusrat Pathan, Head (Corporate Social Responsibility), HDFC Bank, said: We recognise that the democratisation of solar energy goes further than technological deployment. Our commitment extends beyond infrastructure development, focusing on the creation of a knowledge-driven framework that enables long-term, community-led energy independence.”
