Ahmedabad-based Dishman Carbogen Amcis Limited (DCAL) announced on June 29, 2026, that its wholly owned subsidiary Carbogen Amcis AG has commissioned a new ground-mounted photovoltaic system at its Neuland site in Switzerland, the company said in a regulatory filing.
Plant comprises over 2,400 modules
The new solar power plant has a capacity of 1,200 kWp and comprises a total of 2,448 photovoltaic modules installed across approximately 6,200 square metres on the company’s premises. The company said this makes the facility one of the most efficient conventional ground-mounted systems in the Swiss Mittelland, with efficiency levels close to vertical alpine installations.
Ground-mounted photovoltaic systems remain rare in Switzerland.
Carbogen Amcis said it is among the few companies to have built such a system on its own industrial site, with the solar power to be used primarily for on-site consumption to reduce the company’s CO₂ emissions.
Built with IWB and Planeco as energy partners
The project was carried out in collaboration with energy and infrastructure partners IWB (Industrielle Werke Basel) and its subsidiary Planeco, who handled the planning and implementation of the facility.
“With the commissioning of this photovoltaic system, we are making a targeted investment in a sustainable and future-oriented energy supply for our site. The project is an important milestone on our path to consistently implementing our environmental goals,” said Stephan Fritschi, Chief Executive Officer of Carbogen Amcis.
The official opening ceremony was held following a three-month construction phase, attended by Government Councilor Dieter Egli, Head of the Department of Economic Affairs and Internal Affairs of the Canton of Aargau, Hunzenschwil mayor Urs Wiederkehr, Florian Gautschi from the cantonal economic development agency, and representatives from IWB, Planeco and the Carbogen Amcis management team.
Carbogen Amcis is a Switzerland-based pharmaceutical process development and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) manufacturing company and a wholly owned subsidiary of DCAL.
