Under the project, Servotech has been allocated 12 locations of 75 kW each with a total allocated capacity of 900 kW. Under the scope of the project, Servotech Renewable will be responsible for the design, supply, installation, commissioning, and Maintenance of Hybrid solar systems with BESS across the locations. The hybrid solar systems, integrated with battery energy storage, are designed to provide reliable and uninterrupted clean energy while reducing dependence on conventional power sources.

The project aligns with the state’s continued focus on decentralised renewable energy adoption and is expected to strengthen energy access across rural communities by promoting sustainable and resilient power infrastructure.

Commenting on the development, Sarika Bhatia, Whole-Time Director, Servotech Renewable Power System Ltd., said, “We are excited to work with the UPSRLM on this initiative. Reliable access to clean energy has the potential to transform rural communities, and we are proud to contribute to that vision through our hybrid solar solutions. This project reflects our commitment to delivering sustainable energy infrastructure that empowers communities while supporting state’s transition towards renewable energy excellence and accelerating the adoption of solar power across the country.”

The department carried out extensive modification of LT power supply systems and service lines in Sector-22 residential quarters and laid copper power cables at the Tarapur Filter House and Booster Pump House to ensure smooth operation of motors. Several critical power distribution projects were also completed, including revival and commissioning of the Feeder-7 overhead line from Brahmani Water Works to Sector-8 substations, bus-bar modification at the Sector-17 Attending Substation, replacement and jointing of high-capacity underground cables and modification of Feeder-7 and Feeder-9 networks.

One of the major achievements during the year was the restoration of the 11 KV emergency power line from the Plant to the CISF Colony and CISF Barracks after nearly ten years, considerably enhancing emergency power reliability. The Vacuum Circuit Breaker (VCB) of Transformer-5 was also upgraded by replacing the Siemens make equipment with ABB make and successfully commissioned.

To further improve the reliability of the electrical network, the department overhauled three power transformers and 26 distribution transformers. In addition, repairs were carried out on three 630 KVA, five 500 KVA and five 250 KVA transformers installed across the Steel Township. Maintenance work, including repair and circuit modification of the crane main contactor at Intake Well-1, was also completed successfully.

In line with RSP’s sustainability initiatives, the department installed a 3 KW standalone solar power system at Lagoon Gate along with LT cable connectivity from Tarakera Pump House. It also installed 46 solar street lights at various locations in the peripheral and slum areas of Rourkela, promoting clean energy while improving public safety.

Through these initiatives, the Electrical Section has strengthened the township’s power infrastructure, enhanced system reliability, ensured uninterrupted power supply and advanced the use of renewable energy.

As per report published in leading Business news paper Business Line  ,this multi-billion-rupee diversification initiative directly supports the Government of India’s target of achieving 100 GW of nuclear capacity by 2047. A NTPC’s presentation  and Experts highlight that establishing these facilities in coastal states like Andhra Pradesh and Odisha offers strategic advantages due to the continuous water supply required for nuclear operations.

To accelerate its atomic energy goals, NTPC’s newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, NTPC Parmanu Urja Nigam Limited, is focusing on advanced nuclear technologies, while the parent company prepares to submit its first feasibility study to the Department of Atomic Energy for approval. These developments build on NTPC’s ongoing Rs 42,000 crore project in Rajasthan, which is being developed as a joint venture with the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited.

Shri Subhankar Sen, Director (Marketing & HR), officially opened the new Gas Territory Office and Decompression Unit (DCU) at Sitapur, while also virtually inaugurating a City Gate Station-cum-HCV Filling Facility at Shahjahanpur, alongside District Regulating Stations (DRS) at Maholi and Attended by senior leadership, including Shri Rahul Tandon and Shri Rouf M. Khan, these new facilities will accelerate Piped Natural Gas (PNG) access for nearly 75,000 domestic customers and boost clean mobility infrastructure. Notably, the Shahjahanpur facility boasts a compression capacity of 35,000 kg per day to support heavy commercial vehicles, reaffirming BPCL’s commitment to delivering reliable, customer-centric, and sustainable energy solutions across the nation.

The initiative will also support additional energy demand from electrification of gas-based equipment and compressed biogas plants in the state. GAIL said the project reflects its commitment to low-carbon and sustainable energy solutions while strengthening its presence in Uttar Pradesh and reducing dependence on conventional energy sources.

The agreements were signed by Parivesh Chugh, Executive Director (SD & Renewables), GAIL, and Anil Tyagi, CEO of TUSCO Ltd, in the presence of senior officials including R K Singhal, Director (Business Development), GAIL, and Neeraj Verma, Executive Director, THDC India Limited.

In a social media post, Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy, Shri  Pralhad Joshi said that this achievement reflects India’s unwavering commitment to energy security, sustainable development, and the vision of a Viksit Bharat.

Shri  Joshi said that Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra have led this extraordinary growth, powering India’s transition towards a cleaner, greener and more self-reliant future.

The Minister further informed that the country has recorded 6.65 Giga Watt solar capacity in March 2026, the highest-ever solar installation in a single month. He said, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu emerged as the top-contributing states, powering India’s journey towards a cleaner and more energy-secure future.

Meanwhile, Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited today handed over a dividend cheque of one hundred fifteen crore rupees to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
