In a significant development for India’s renewable energy landscape, NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL), a subsidiary of NTPC Limited, has officially commissioned 110.25 MW capacity of the Khavda-I Solar PV Project in Gujarat. This milestone marks the commercial operation date (COD) of the first part of a massive 1255 MW solar installation, being implemented by NTPC Renewable Energy Limited (NTPC REL) — a wholly owned subsidiary of NGEL.
According to the disclosure submitted under Regulation 30 of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, the project was declared commercially operational from 00:00 hours of 06 June 2025. This development plays a key role in bolstering NTPC’s ambition to be a leader in green energy solutions, aligning with India’s national target for renewable power generation.
With this declaration, the total installed and commercial capacity of the NTPC Group has now reached 80,265 MW — a massive leap forward in India's quest for clean energy transformation. The Khavda-I Solar PV Project is located in the sun-rich terrain of Gujarat, known for its ideal conditions for solar energy harvesting, which makes this project a critical asset in the renewable portfolio of NTPC.
The NTPC REL Khavda-I Solar Project, when fully commissioned, will add 1255 MW to the grid, and the currently commissioned 110.25 MW is the first step in that direction. This development reflects NTPC’s strategic emphasis on scaling up solar capacities across India, particularly in high solar insolation regions.
The project is being developed under the umbrella of NTPC Renewable Energy Limited, which has been entrusted with a variety of solar and hybrid projects as part of NTPC’s long-term decarbonization strategy. The Khavda-I Solar PV Project is one of the largest utility-scale solar projects currently under execution in India.
NTPC Green Energy Limited, incorporated to handle NTPC's green and renewable energy ventures, has rapidly become a pivotal arm in the company’s energy transition strategy. The commissioning of the first phase of the Khavda-I Solar PV Project is a testament to NGEL’s ability to deliver large-scale projects with technological efficiency and environmental sustainability.
This latest commissioning is not just a number—it symbolizes the direction in which India’s largest power generation company is headed. By adding 110.25 MW from Khavda-I Solar PV Project to its operational assets, NTPC has once again underlined its leadership in renewable energy capacity addition, further fortifying its stature in the global energy market.
It is important to note that NTPC Green Energy Limited's continuous addition to renewable energy capacity is aligned with India's COP26 commitment of reaching 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. The addition of this 110.25 MW solar capacity is another vital brick in that wall of national commitment.
NTPC's Khavda-I Solar PV Project is also a strong representation of the government’s push towards sustainable infrastructure development, especially in energy-deficient regions. The Gujarat-based project leverages cutting-edge photovoltaic technology, enhancing generation efficiency and reducing the carbon footprint.
The commercial operation declaration of 110.25 MW capacity from Khavda-I Solar PV Project was officially communicated through exchanges including the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and BSE Limited on 05 June 2025 by NTPC Green Energy Limited. The company's Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, Manish Kumar, signed the disclosure confirming the project's commissioning timeline and operational status.
The parent company, NTPC Limited, also submitted this disclosure to stock exchanges on 06 June 2025, reiterating the milestone and emphasizing its growing capacity base. With the capacity touching 80,265 MW, NTPC further cements its position as India’s leading power producer, with a clear tilt toward sustainable energy generation.
This development also positively influences investor sentiment, particularly as NTPC Green Energy Limited prepares for future expansion and new project commissioning in the fiscal year 2025-26. Investors and stakeholders closely following the renewable energy space will find this announcement a reassuring indicator of NTPC's robust project execution capabilities and its strong alignment with climate goals and regulatory commitments.
As more parts of the 1255 MW Khavda-I Solar PV Project are brought online in the coming months, NTPC is poised to push its renewable energy share further up the ladder. In turn, this will play a crucial role in reducing dependency on thermal power while enhancing energy security and promoting low-carbon growth in India.
The NTPC Group has been methodically increasing its green energy portfolio, and this commissioning is a continuation of that vision. With subsidiaries like NTPC Renewable Energy Limited and NTPC Green Energy Limited at the forefront, NTPC is not just participating in the renewable revolution—it is helping lead it.
To summarise, the commissioning of the 110.25 MW solar capacity at the Khavda-I project in Gujarat is a major achievement for NTPC Green Energy Limited, boosting the total installed and commercial capacity of NTPC Group to 80,265 MW. It aligns with NTPC’s larger vision to drive India’s transition to clean energy, support sustainable development, and enhance shareholder value through responsible and innovative energy solutions.
