NTPC REL Boosts Khavda Solar Output with 97.5 MW Addition, Total Surpasses 350 MW – EQ
In Short : NTPC Renewable Energy Ltd has added 97.5 MW to its Khavda solar projects in Gujarat as of June 30, 2025. This includes 32.8 MW from the 300 MW Hybrid Tranche-V project and 64.7 MW from the 1,255 MW CPSU Scheme Phase-II. With these additions, NTPC’s solar capacity at Khavda exceeds 350 MW, advancing India’s large-scale renewable energy goals.
In Detail : NTPC Renewable Energy Limited has successfully commissioned an additional 97.5 MW of solar power capacity at its Khavda projects in Gujarat. The commissioning became effective on June 30, 2025, marking a significant step in NTPC’s push toward expanding its renewable energy portfolio in the region.
Out of the total 97.5 MW, 32.8 MW was added as part of the second phase of the 300 MW Khavda Solar Energy Project. This project is being developed under the Hybrid Tranche-V scheme, aiming to integrate renewable power sources into India’s energy mix efficiently.
Simultaneously, the Khavda-I Solar PV Project contributed another 64.7 MW to the total addition. This project falls under the CPSU Scheme Phase-II Tranche-III and has a planned capacity of 1,255 MW, positioning it among the country’s major solar developments.
These new additions come on the heels of earlier capacity augmentations at Khavda-I. In recent weeks, NTPC REL had already commissioned 110.25 MW on June 6 and another 146.7 MW on June 28, reflecting a steady pace of development.
With the latest commissioning, NTPC REL’s cumulative solar output at Khavda now surpasses 350 MW. This reinforces its position as a major contributor to India’s renewable energy ambitions and showcases its ability to execute large-scale solar projects efficiently.
NTPC’s total installed power generation capacity has now crossed 80 GW, reaffirming its status as the country’s largest power producer. The consistent addition of renewable capacity also highlights NTPC’s strategic shift towards clean energy and long-term sustainability goals.
