Hyderabad: In a significant step towards sustainable infrastructure in the entertainment sector, Allu Cinemas, Kokapet (Narsingi) and Freyr Energy – India’s leading rooftop solar company have partnered to commission a 727kW solar power system at the facility with an investment of Rs 2,27,60,000.
This installation marks one of the largest solar deployments for a cinema facility in the region. The newly installed solar system is designed to meet approximately 60% of the cinema’s energy requirements, resulting in a reduction in electricity costs from Rs 52 lakh annually to approximately Rs 5 lakh.
This translates into estimated annual savings of Rs 77–80 lakhs, showcasing the strong financial viability of solar adoption for large-scale commercial establishments. The installation is expected to significantly reduce an estimated 750 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually.
Radhika Choudary, Co-Founder, Freyr Energy, said, “In an age where sustainability is paramount, solar systems for movie theatres emerge as a strategic choice.”
Producer Allu Aravind from Allu Cinemas said, “Cinemas are high energy-consuming spaces, and this transition allows us to significantly optimise electricity usage while improving long-term operational efficiency.”
