Bengaluru, 18^th Nov 2025: Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a leading player in India’s renewable energy sector and a subsidiary of The Tata Power Company Limited (‘Tata Power’), has successfully commissioned NHPC Limited’s landmark 450 MWp (DC) / 300 MW (AC) DCR-compliant solar power project as the EPC contractor at Karnisar Bhatiyan, Bikaner, Rajasthan. Executed over a span of two and a half years with unparalleled excellence in execution, the project stands as a demonstration to TPREL’s robust project management and technical capabilities.

In addition to the 300 MW NHPC project, TPREL is also powering Rajasthan’s upcoming clean-energy landscape with DCR-compliant cells and modules for SJVN’s 1 GW project and NLC’s 300 MW project- both poised for commissioning and set to become major renewable milestones. The plant features high-efficiency solar modules manufactured by TP Solar Ltd., Tirunelveli, further reinforcing the commitment to domestic manufacturing and sustainable energy advancement.

Developed by TPREL, this NHPC-owned large-scale solar project is supplying the entire power to PSPCL and will generate approximately 17,230 million units of green electricity over the life period of operation.

The project stands out for its robust engineering and innovative execution in one of India’s most challenging terrains. Despite extreme temperatures and difficult vehicle movements, the TPREL team ensured timely completion with the deployment of advanced technologies such as DCR cells and bifacial DCR modules, precision ramming, and high-performance inverters designed to withstand extreme heat conditions. In total, around 7,75,000 modules were installed for this project.

In addition to technical excellence, the project had a strong socio-economic impact. More than 300 local workers were employed, and several local vendors were developed, creating livelihood opportunities in the area and boosting the regional economy.

With this successful commissioning, TPREL reinforces its position as a trusted partner for large-scale renewable energy projects in India, delivering clean, reliable, and sustainable power to key utilities while actively contributing to India’s goal of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel energy capacity by 2030 and reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2070.

To date, the company has commissioned over 4.9 GW of third-party projects-an impressive milestone strengthened by more than 980 MW delivered in this financial year alone, showcasing its rapid execution capability.

With this project, TPREL’s total renewable utility capacity has reached 11.6 GW. Currently, 5.8 GW of this capacity is operational, comprising 4.7 GW of solar and 1.1 GW of wind energy. Additionally, 5.8 GW is under various stages of implementation, evenly split between 3 GW of solar and 2.8 GW of wind projects. These ongoing projects are expected to be completed in phases over the next 6 to 24 months in a staggered manner.

·         The project will generate 315 MUs of electricity annually, reducing over 0.25 million tons of CO₂ emissions and strengthening India’s clean energy goals.

·         A remarkable 416% surge in installations from Q1 FY25

·         Contributes towards Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana (PMSGY) through its ‘Ghar Ghar Solar’ Initiative

Bengaluru, July 4, 2025: Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of The Tata Power Company Limited (Tata Power), India’s No. 1 Rooftop Solar Company, has delivered a record breaking performance in Q1 FY26, reinforcing its market leadership in rooftop solar. TPREL has achieved an unprecedented 45,589 rooftop solar installations in Q1 FY26, marking a staggering 416% year-on-year growth compared to 8,838 installations in Q1 FY25. This milestone highlights Tata Power’s unwavering commitment to driving India’s clean energy transition.

The Q1 FY26 installations propelled TPREL to a nationwide total of 2,04,443 rooftop solar installations, with cumulative capacity surpassing 3.4 GW. This milestone not only reflects the Company’s rapid growth but also underscores its pivotal role in accelerating India’s renewable energy transformation.

This milestone highlights TPREL’s role as a key enabler of India’s decentralised renewable energy transition and supports the national goal of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.

By accelerating rooftop solar installations, TPREL is actively supporting the Government’s vision to boost solar adoption under the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana through its flagship Ghar Ghar Solar campaign. Delivering tailored solar rooftop solutions across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, TPREL is playing a vital role in advancing India’s energy security and sustainability ambitions.

TPREL’s pan-India presence is driven by a robust network of 604 channel partners spanning over 400 cities, complemented by 240 authorized service partners across 560 cities, ensuring seamless service and unmatched support nationwide. With a rapidly expanding customer base of over 2 lakh satisfied clients, including more than 1.8 lakh in the residential segment and TPREL has firmly established itself as the trusted solar partner.

Beyond its leadership in rooftop solar, TPREL is strategically expanding its footprint in solar manufacturing, reinforcing the entire solar value chain. With a robust manufacturing capacity of 4.3 GW for cells and modules in India, coupled with over 3.4 GW of rooftop solar installations, it exemplifies unmatched scale and impact, driving country’s accelerated transition to a clean, sustainable energy future.

The collaboration aims to jointly explore and identify commercial opportunities across various segments of the BESS value chain, including utility-scale systems, grid stabilization services, renewable energy integration, microgrids, hybrid energy solutions, industrial and commercial storage solutions, backup power, electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, and energy trading through ancillary services.

Commenting on the MoU, Mr. Deepesh Nanda, CEO & Managing Director, TPREL, said, “This partnership with ONGC marks a significant milestone in our journey to drive India’s energy transition. Battery Energy Storage Systems will play a crucial role in strengthening grid reliability, enabling greater renewable energy integration, and supporting India’s ambitious clean energy goals.
