NTPC Green Energy Commissions Final Phase Of Khavda-II Project

01 Jun 2026 CW Team

The project was executed by NTPC Renewable Energy Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of NTPC Green Energy Limited, and the completion marks the end of staged commissioning that began earlier in the year. With this addition the NTPC Green Energy Group's operational capacity rose from 10,516.40 MW to 10,621.40 MW, reflecting incremental growth in its renewable portfolio. The company submitted the disclosure to market regulators to record the commencement of the final phase. The disclosure followed internal handover and commissioning documentation.

The completion of Khavda-II is anticipated to strengthen the group's renewable footprint in western India and support regional grid stability through additional solar generation. Deployment of utility-scale solar capacity contributes to broader corporate targets for low carbon power generation and aligns with national renewable energy expansion goals. The project comprises large photovoltaic installations and associated grid interconnection works implemented in phases. It will contribute to long term renewable output estimates.

Operationalising the full 1,200 MW capacity enhances NTPC Green Energy Limited's project delivery track record and provides experience for further large-scale renewable development. The company will now focus on optimising plant performance and ensuring steady generation across varying solar cycles. The phased approach enabled systematic testing and integration while maintaining regulatory compliance and market reporting obligations.
