NTPC Renewable Energy Ltd., a subsidiary of NTPC Green Energy Ltd., will start commercial electricity supply of 130.47 MW from the Khavda-I Solar PV Project in Gujarat from midnight on 29 January 2026. The development marks a significant increase in the company’s renewable capacity under India’s national clean energy agenda.
Under the CPSU Scheme Phase-II, Tranche-III, Khavda-I project is being built with a total capacity of 1,255 MW to boost large-scale solar power generation. This will mark the last phase of the ten-phase segment of the project to be live.
Capacity Expansion and Installed Base
With the commissioning of the latest 130.47 MW segment, the total installed commercial capacity of the NTPC Green Energy Group has risen to 8,478.25 MW, up from 8,347.78 MW prior to the addition, according to a regulatory filing. This enhancement reflects the group’s steady pace of adding utility-scale renewable generation to support India’s decarbonisation goals.
The Khavda-I Solar Project, located in the Gujarat solar belt, is among the largest solar initiatives being developed by NTPC Renewable Energy and is part of the broader strategy to scale up solar assets across the country.
What Does It Mean for Investors?
The commencement of commercial operations increases the NTPC Green Energy Group’s total installed renewable capacity. Such phased commissioning improves visibility into capacity additions and execution progress for investors tracking NTPC’s renewable build-out.
The continued development is also an indication of the further advancement of the CPSU Scheme that offers long-term power offtake visibility and policy support. For investors, the focus remains on the pace of commissioning of the remaining capacity under the Khavda-I project, execution timelines, and how these additions translate into stable generation and cash flow contributions within NTPC’s broader renewable portfolio.
