NTPC Starts Commercial Operations of 38-MW Solar Unit in Gujarat

State-run power major NTPC Limited on Sunday announced the commencement of commercial operations of a 38-megawatt (MW) solar power capacity in Gujarat, marking another step toward expanding its renewable energy portfolio.

The new capacity forms part of the 300-MW Khavda Solar Energy Project being developed by NTPC Renewable Energy Limited (NREL), a step-down subsidiary of NTPC through NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL).

In a regulatory filing, NTPC said that with the addition of this 38-MW unit, the cumulative commercially operational capacity of the Khavda Solar Project has increased further. The earlier commissioned parts—142.2 MW, 32.8 MW, and 49.125 MW—were declared commercially operational on June 28, June 30, and August 22, respectively.

The project is part of NTPC’s broader strategy to accelerate the transition toward clean energy and achieve its goal of 60 GW renewable capacity by 2032.

With this addition, NTPC continues to strengthen its position as one of India’s leading contributors to solar power generation and sustainable energy development.
