Godrej Secures 98 Megawatt Solar Project in Haryana

Godrej Enterprises Group has secured an order to develop a 98 Megawatt (MW) solar power project in Sirsa, Haryana, awarded by Hexa Climate Solutions and to be executed on a turnkey basis by the group’s energy solutions business. The assignment represents the group’s largest project by capacity and ranks among the biggest open-access solar installations in the state. Once operational the plant is expected to generate around 147 million (mn) kilowatt hours annually, providing a sizeable source of clean energy to industrial consumers.

The project reflects the growing role of the open-access model in enabling industries to procure renewable power directly while bypassing traditional distribution channels. Commercial and industrial consumers are increasingly driven by the twin priorities of cost stability and sustainability compliance, prompting demand for captive and open-access arrangements. The deployment of bifacial modules and smart monitoring systems indicates a wider shift towards higher efficiency and performance optimisation in utility-scale solar projects.

From a market perspective the deal underscores rising demand for engineering, procurement and construction expertise in the renewable sector as firms seek integrated solutions for captive generation. Developers such as Godrej Enterprises stand to strengthen their positioning across the renewable value chain by delivering end-to-end projects that combine technical design and operational capabilities. Nevertheless the scalability of the open-access model will continue to hinge on regulatory clarity around open access and on transmission charges that remain constraining factors in several states.

The Sirsa installation is likely to advance industrial decarbonisation efforts by offering predictable energy costs and by reducing exposure to volatile grid tariffs and carbon liabilities. The turnkey nature of the contract signals the group’s capacity to manage site development through to commissioning and initial operations. Continued uptake of such projects may reshape corporate energy procurement if regulatory and transmission barriers are progressively resolved.
