Mumbai – Hartek Power, one of India’s leading Engineering, Procurement, Construction companies, has secured a major renewable energy contract in Karnataka. The company has been awarded the EPC scope for a 280 MW AC / 410 MWp DC solar PV project, along with an 80 MW / 320 MWh battery energy storage system at Challakere.
The scope of work includes design, engineering, supply, erection and commissioning of the project, along with one year of operations and maintenance. The total purchase price for the signed and agreed scope is approximately INR 353.77 crore.
The project is significant at a time when India is increasingly focusing on integrating large-scale renewable generation with energy storage to ensure grid stability and reliable power supply. Battery energy storage systems are emerging as a critical enabler for managing intermittency in solar power and supporting round-the-clock energy availability.
Commenting on the project win, Simarpreet Singh, Executive Director and CEO, Hartek Group, said, “This project reflects the growing maturity of India’s renewable energy market, where solar generation and storage are coming together as an integrated solution. We are pleased to be working on this large-scale solar and battery storage project at Challakere. At Hartek, we have consistently invested in engineering capabilities and execution excellence to deliver complex projects of this scale. This win strengthens our position in the utility-scale solar segment and marks an important step forward in our journey into battery energy storage.”
Located in Challakere, which is fast emerging as a renewable energy hub, the project adds to Karnataka’s expanding clean energy footprint.
For Hartek, it reinforces the company’s ability to execute large, technically advanced projects across geographies, while supporting India’s broader energy transition goals.
As renewable capacity additions accelerate across the country, industry observers note that hybrid projects combining solar and storage are expected to become increasingly common. Hartek’s latest order places it firmly among solar EPC players equipped to deliver next-generation renewable infrastructure at scale.
