Evolve Energy has secured a contract to develop a 1.5 MW AC ground-mounted solar power plant at Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (MCL), a subsidiary of Coal India Ltd, with a total project cost of approximately Rs 120 million. The installation, to be delivered under a CAPEX model, is scheduled for completion by November 2026 and is aimed at boosting renewable energy usage in industrial operations.

S.K. Prasad, Head – Tendering at Evolve Energy, stated that the project underscores their commitment to delivering scalable, industrial-grade solar solutions, supporting India’s clean energy shift.

The solar plant will provide clean electricity annually, advancing Coal India’s decarbonisation goals while showcasing the mining industry’s potential to adopt renewable energy without disrupting core operations. This project further strengthens Evolve Energy’s role as a key public-sector solar partner in India’s sustainability journey.
