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, the company 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.
