Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited has successfully commissioned a 1 GW domestic content requirement compliant solar power project for SJVN Limited, marking its largest engineering procurement and construction execution to date. The project underlines India’s accelerating push toward large scale renewable energy deployment while strengthening domestic solar manufacturing capabilities.
The solar facility spans the Bandarwala and Karnisar Bhatiyan sites in Bikaner district of Rajasthan and has been developed to supply clean electricity across multiple states. Of the total installed capacity, 500 MW has been allocated to Rajasthan Urja Vikas and IT Services Limited, 300 MW to Jammu and Kashmir Power Limited, and 200 MW to Uttarakhand Power Corporation Limited, ensuring diversified and reliable regional power distribution.
All solar modules used in the project have been manufactured at TP Solar Limited’s integrated solar cell and module facility in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu. Nearly 2.4 million mono bifacial DCR compliant modules were installed, reinforcing Tata Power’s focus on domestic sourcing, supply chain resilience, and long term manufacturing self reliance.
The project is expected to generate approximately 2,454.84 million units of green electricity in its first year of commercial operation. This output is estimated to offset close to 1.74 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually, contributing meaningfully to India’s decarbonisation targets and clean energy transition.
Execution was completed under demanding climatic conditions, with temperatures ranging from extreme summer highs of nearly 50 degrees Celsius to winter lows close to 3 degrees. Advanced engineering practices, high performance inverters, and precision installation techniques were deployed to ensure consistent power generation and long term operational reliability.
In addition to energy generation, the project delivered notable socio economic benefits. More than 300 local workers were engaged during construction, while over 25 regional vendors were developed, supporting employment creation and sustained economic activity in the region.
With this commissioning, Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited’s third party utility scale EPC portfolio has expanded to 4.9 GW, while its total renewable utility scale capacity has reached 11.6 GW.
