Surat – Steamhouse India Limited has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Haryana Enterprises Promotion Centre (HEPC), Government of Haryana, to explore industrial infrastructure opportunities involving a proposed investment of ₹500 crore in the state. The MoU provides a framework for cooperation and government facilitation to evaluate potential opportunities, including community boiler infrastructure for industrial clusters.
Commenting on the development, Mr. Vishal S. Budhia, Chairman & Managing Director, Steamhouse India Limited, said, “Community boiler infrastructure offers an opportunity to rethink how steam-intensive industries meet their requirements while addressing the growing importance of environmental compliance. Haryana’s industrial clusters warrant closer examination of centralized steam generation, supported by appropriate pollution-control systems and efficient distribution networks. The MoU with HEPC provides a framework to explore these opportunities, subject to feasibility assessments and applicable regulatory approvals.”
The proposed collaboration comes amid continuing air-quality concerns across Delhi-NCR, where industrial emissions remain an important consideration. Haryana’s manufacturing centres, including Panipat and Sonipat, offer potential settings to evaluate cluster-level steam infrastructure. Community boilers have also featured in the wider regulatory discourse on industrial emission management, including the Central Pollution Control Board’s guidelines for promoting such systems in small-scale industrial clusters.
The MoU is exploratory in nature and does not constitute a project award or a commitment to implement a specific facility. Any subsequent development will depend on detailed technical and commercial feasibility assessments, industrial demand, environmental requirements and the necessary statutory approvals.
Community boiler systems generate steam at a centralized facility and distribute it to multiple industrial consumers through a dedicated pipeline network. Compared with individual boiler installations, this model can facilitate centralized pollution-control measures, coordinated fuel management and emissions monitoring, subject to technology selection and operational compliance.
