NTPC Operationalises 100 MW Solar PV Project at Ramagundam

06 May 2026 CW Team

The plant strengthens the company's renewable capacity and supports Telangana's transition towards cleaner power sources. The facility will contribute to peak and daytime generation requirements and reduce reliance on fossil fuel based plants. Project execution followed standard engineering, procurement and construction practices and employed local contractors and skilled labour.

The installation uses photovoltaic modules and balance of system components designed for high availability and long-term performance. Operations will focus on optimising generation, maintenance scheduling and grid stability through established control systems. Ancillary benefits include reduced emissions intensity of the electricity supplied and modest savings in fuel consumption across the regional portfolio.

The Ramagundam project forms part of NTPC's broader renewable expansion strategy to diversify its generation mix and meet emerging policy commitments. The company expects the facility to support energy security and to enable further investments in solar and hybrid projects across its asset base. Continued commissioning of such capacities is intended to underpin India wide decarbonisation efforts and local economic activity.

Project operations include capacity building for local maintenance teams and transfer of operational knowhow to on site staff, supporting long term upkeep. Monitoring and performance analytics will be used to sustain generation output and to inform future optimisation. The installation is expected to contribute to lowering the carbon intensity of regional supply chains while supporting supply reliability during daylight hours. Stakeholder engagement during execution aimed to mitigate land use impacts and to maximise local employment benefits.

NTPC has operationalised a 100 megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) project at Ramagundam in Telangana, adding a significant renewable installation to its portfolio. The project connects to the regional grid and will supply clean electricity to local distribution networks. NTPC completed civil and electrical works and commissioned the arrays and inverters to commence commercial operations.

Pune To Build Nine Km Link Road Between Highways

The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has decided to appoint an expert to plan the development of a nine km long, 60 metre wide road from Khadi Machine chowk to Wadki chowk as an extension to the Katraj-Kondhwa road to link the Mumbai-Satara and Pune-Solapur national highways. The scheme is intended to divert heavy vehicle traffic away from the city and improve access between the two arterial routes. The project has been prioritised by the PMC and forms part of a larger set of schemes in which 19 roads have been identified for development at a combined cost of Rs 9.82 billion (bn) to address c..

Barabanki Bahraich Six Lane Highway Approved in Uttar Pradesh

The Uttar Pradesh government has approved construction of a new six-lane highway linking Barabanki and Bahraich as part of National Highway 927, and the cabinet has cleared the project. The alignment will pass through Mustafabad and Kaiserganj and extend for about 101.5 km, creating a key corridor for local and long-distance movement. The National Highways Authority of India will oversee the work and has signalled the scheme is intended to strengthen regional connectivity and cross-border access to Nepal. The project carries an estimated total cost of Rs 69,690 million, equivalent to Rs 69.69..

Toll At Kharegaon Likely As Highway Upgrade Nears Completion

A section of the highway at Kharegaon has undergone an upgrade and is approaching completion, and authorities have indicated plans for a toll to be introduced once works finish. The project has focused on strengthening the carriageway, improving drainage and upgrading intersections to enhance safety and capacity. Officials have said the toll will be used to recover construction costs and fund ongoing maintenance. The upgrade included resurfacing of the pavement, widening of certain stretches and installation of modern signage and lighting to reduce accident risk. Contractors completed most ma..
