The sun-powered ferry is the pride of Kerala as it promises a futuristic expansion of marine electric propulsion. Making 22 trips daily, Aditya is able to carry 580,000 people a year. Making the cut into an ecologically friendly commuter, Aditya notably also saves the burning of 58,000 litres of diesel and saving ₹ 4,612,000 – $ 65,000 a year. Equipped with hydraulic steering, a world-class GPS system, an eco-sounder and much more Aditya indeed make our Nation very proud on the green energy proponent pathway.

Aditya Indias First Solar Powered Boat cladded with Aludecor ACP sheet

Commuting between Thavanakkadavu and Vaikkom in Kerala, Aditya has been clad entirely with interior and exterior grade Aluminium Composite Panels from Aludecor. Aludecor ACPs are incredibly lightweight, and their high gloss retention adds subtle sophistication to the appearance of the eco-friendly ferry. Besides, the easy maintenance factor ensures that “Aditya” remains in its best form and can be cleaned very easily! The catamaran boat was clad with Aludecor ACPs to ensure the feather-light weight of the ferry, which helps it to glide through the pristine waters of Kerala.
